My solution was this.

Change this line in client/bin/xymonclient.sh CLIENTVERSION="$XYMONHOME/bin/clientupdate --level" to CLIENTVERSION="$XYMONHOME/bin/xymon --version"

This shows up on the info page. Hostname: host01 OS: SunOS host01 5.10 Generic_147440-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 Client S/W: Xymon version 4.3.10 IP: 10.0.0.70 Of course that doesn't work if you push out the clients from your server. The client will most probably clobber that file. But I guess you could change the clientupdate to include this. I don't use the clientupdate function.

You could add this into client-local.cfg on the server:

file:( echo "client/xymonversion $MACHINE.$OSTYPE"; echo "[clientversion]"; $XYMON --version ) | $XYMON $XYMSRV @ >/dev/null

Assign to each device you want to know about. This causes each client to run "xymon --version" and send the result back as a supplementary "client" message. Then on the server you can retrieve it with the "clientlog" type message that Japheth showed. If you upgrade clients, they will automatically report new version strings.
