Also, a xymond_client process needs to be fired up to parse the data coming
from the SNMP collector:

[clientdata-snmp]
       ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
       NEEDS xymond
       CMD xymond_channel --channel=client
--log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/clientdata-snmp.log xymond_client
--collectors=snmpcollect
