Is it possible to add the CLIENT or COMMENT tag of a host to the email alert?

I suspect that it's not possible without using a SCRIPT to generate the email. You could use xymongrep to pull out the hosts.cfg entry and parse it for values for CLIENT and COMMENT.

Probably easier to parse the output of the "hostinfo" command for xymon, like so:

$XYMON $XYMSRV 'hostinfo host=my.host.name'

Or use "xymondboard" to query and ask for the fields XMH_CLIENTALIAS (CLIENT) and XMH_COMMENT, like so:

$XYMON $XYMSRV 'xymondboard host=my.host.namefields=hostname,XMH_COMMENT,XMH_CLIENTALIAS' | head -1
