Xymon allows the creation of a “notes” file under $XYMONVAR/www/notes/ with the filename <hostname>.html. This causes Xymon to hotlink the hostname, so that clicking on it displays the file.
This addon is a hostname “notes” template file, that uses Javascript to auto-generate various aspects of the file. Because the content is auto-generated, the file can be copied or symlinked to other filenames, to cover as many hosts as required.
To install:
copy the file somewhere on your server, perhaps in $XYMONVAR/www/notes/
edit the file to add schemes other than ssh:, if required
symlink the file to match a hostname, for example:
ln -s dynamic-host-notes.html server1.html
repeat for all required hosts
- notes-template.html

<TITLE>Connecting to servername</TITLE>
<!--
*** Clicking on a hostname shows this page, if named <hostname>.html ***
This file is located in server/www/notes/
