This is a crazy guess, you don't mention which version of xymon so this may be way off. It may be way off anyway :)
If you are talking about the trends/"Network Traffic" graph it seems to be getting that data from the 'ifstat' var.
Some details follow.
what we graph for ifstat hobbitgraph.cfg: FNPATTERN ifstat.(.+).rrd See data/rrd/$hostname/ifstat.*
where ifstat originates client/hobbitclient-linux.sh: echo "[ifstat]" /sbin/ifconfig
what happens to ifstat hobbitd/client/linux.c: ifstatstr = getdata("ifstat"); hobbitd/client/linux.c: unix_ifstat_report(hostname, clienttype, os, hinfo, fromline, timestr, ifstatstr); <--- ifstatstr
You should be able to modify the client shell script to report other than ifconfig -a (which seems to be what is currently captured). Of course, there must be a better way.

Tim

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
The only interfaces I want graphed are "rhevm" and "bond2".
