Doesn't this device support SNMP? If so, you could perhaps do something using devmon.

But I see no problem with what you've proposed. Should work just fine.

Fellow xymoners,****

I am looking for some ideas on how to monitor some alarm feeds (serial ROP). I have to collect them from the xymon server, The platform involved cannot support a xymon client, I have the collection part down to stream it to a log file. But I want to use the log monitor feature for the clients, so I can build the alerts and post the results under the hosts display on xymon. ****

If it helps here is a typical message:****
