There's no built in way to do something like this, since the architecture
of xymon is to shuttle all the raw data up the stream for processing
(and/or ignoring) by xymond and channel workers.
However, if you needed to do a one-off for a particularly odd box, edit
xymonclient-${os}.sh and comment out the relevant shell command.
Obviously, this means that that data won't be usable.
In trunk, and for the next major release, xymon will have a compression
option, which might alleviate some of your bandwidth concern, at the
expensive of minor cpu use (ps data compresses well).

Is there a way to completely turn off the collection of a particular
monitor on a client so that it doesn't send the data? It looks like
the client gathers all the information all the time, sends it to the
server, and the server determines which data to display. If I'm trying
to save bandwidth, can I tell the client to not gather procs data (which
on my system is about 15k per message) and just not send it?
