I think I've found it in the server's xymond.log:
Oversize status msg from <client IP> for <hostname>:procs truncated (n=<some #>, limit=262144)
Oversize data/client msg from <client IP <truncated (n=<some #>, limit=524288).
Now, I need to figure out how to change those limits.

Good to know...I was trying (unsuccessfully) to compile the 4.3.10 client for AIX, in case it was the client side.
On the other side...I did stop the client, killed any remaining vmstat processes and started the client back up. Initially, only one vmstat process was running, and then eventually there were two at any given time, again. They kick off every 5 minutes, outputting to a vmstat file tied to that process' PID (hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>.PID), and at the end of the run, the PID specific vmstat file is supposed to be renamed to hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>. The one thing I notice is that I never see a file hobbit_vmstat.<hostname>...even now, while there is still data actually being reported in the graph (it's only 7:44AM at present), there is no vmstat file without the PID as part of the file name present. Not that I think that is the problem.
Is there anything I can do to increase verbosity in the client and/or server logging to determine if there's some sort of communication issue (or lack thereof)?

Silly question time...is that code in the server or client?There are no silly questions: all questions lead to enlightenment!
The parser runs on the server.
