I don't write scripts but maybe you could curl the status page and look at the background (it's red or green based on condition).

If you have access to the server, you can query the status table a lot easier than that. Look in the man page for the bb command. You'll use something like:
server/bin/bb localhost 'hobbitdboard'There's a bunch of arguments you can pass to pick out information by column (test name), host name, color, &c.
Once you've worked out what you want, you can have your script launched by xymon at regular intervals, in which case you'd use:
$BB $BBDISP 'hobbitdboard arg1 arg2 etc"Ralph Mitchell

Start with 'man bb' ...
What scripting language are you planning on using? Shell scripting? I have an initial perl module which should make it easy to do something like this in perl (without executing bb), but I haven't tried something like this in it. If you are considering perl, I would make it available to get some feedback ..

If you just want to combine some existing tests, you can have a look at bbcombotest. Enable the task in hobbitlaunch.cfg, and see 'man bbcombotest' and 'man bbcombotest.cfg'
o hobbitgraph variable from a COLUMN2
If you want values from the graphs, you need to get them out of the rrd files. In shell scripts, you would use 'rrdtool fetch', see 'man rrdfetch'. In perl, you could use the perl RRD module.
AFAIK, thresholds from RRD files is on the roadmap for Xymon, which might in future allow you to do this without scripting.
