It shouldn't be difficult to do this.  Xymon has special parsing code for
Devmon status messages.

I don't know about UPS status/graphs, but I can show what I have for
"if_load".

1) I have a graph definition (graphs.cfg) called [if_load]
2) I have GRAPHS set to include "if_load::1" which tells Xymon to show one
line per graph.
3) I have TEST2RRD set to include "if_load=devmon"

That's about it.

I use Devmon.  Xymon doesn't have SNMP support yet. Henrik started working
on it some years ago, but didn't like what he came up with, and since then
has been focussed on other things like support for IPv6.  See this comment
from Henrik for some context:

Some people still use MRTG, with bbmrtg.pl to splice into Xymon.  I've
never done this myself, because I find Devmon does what I need.
