Sorry for the formatting.. trying to figure out how to set my mail client to reply/quote in a manner that makes sense.

Good news. This is encouraging.
Would you mind showing a sample of the relevant client data you're
receiving?
Sure, happy to share, but it is lengthy so I will only share two ports. Also, I changed it a bit to go by port# versus portDescription.

This shouldn't be necessary. There's a client definition for "snmpcollect"
messages, so the existing xymond_client process should create data and
status messages.
The code in xymond/client/snmpcollect.c doesn't generate any "data"
messages, only "status" messages. So don't expect anything on the trends
page.
Hmm I will have to look at the code more to try to figure things out a bit better too
Instead, status messages should appear, which should create their own
columns. The column name will be the "mibname" which I'm guessing is the
[sectionname] in snmpmibs.cfg.
Now that does not happen. Someone else report similar back on Mar 26th 2008; http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2008-March/018374.html
But on Sep 10th 2007, Henrik responded in the email @ http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2007/09/msg00139.html
"Right now it just collects the data. I have some ideas to add monitoring
so it might trigger an alert if the error-rate of an interface goes up,
or the traffic exceeds certain limits (min/max). Nothing definite yet."
So I had just assumed that xymon's snmp capabilities were only to collect & post "client data" and that nothing was enabled/working for taking that and posting "status" or "data" messages and thusly no trends
