Three issues that I've into thus far, although still a great tool.

1.  My Xymon server, and most of my servers running snmpd, are set up for farenheit.  A few of my routers however are in celcius, this gives me flashbacks to the Mars probe.

2.  To attempt to remedy what you described above, I added:

# DEVMON:except(if_stat;ifName;na:.*)

The above ignores all of the Gig interfaces, now I need to figure out how to:

a.  Monitor just my trunks between switches.  
b.  Separate my alerts so that my Linux folks get alerts for servers on their conns, Windows get theirs, and I can stay asleep at night and ignore all that are not purely network related ;-)

3.  Figure a why totally ignore, and not even show a column for, everything in if_name.
