I've been following this DEVMON guide, works fine for data collection:

I don't like this guide. It makes things more difficult than they need to be, and it is outdated. I have now added a warning section covering why other sources of documentation should be considered.
I enabled a wiki on the Devmon SF site a while back, and added some basic information there.

Feel free to improve it. (I think currently it requires you to log in with a sourceforge account, if there is enough interest to warrant the effort in avoiding spam and malicious edits, I will allow anonymous edits).
It doesn't explain how to generate graphs for SNMP data, but it is enough to get you started (I'm still stuck on generating interface graphs).
RRD collection should work out-the-box on Xymon 4.2.3. To get graphs for the RRD files, Just copy the extras/devmon-graph.cfg into your Xymon hobbit graph definitions (since I have 'directory /etc/xymon/hobbitgraph.d in my hobbitgraph.cfg, I just copy the file into /etc/xymon/hobbitgraph.d).
I will try and update the wiki accordingly.
