I'm not sure what you mean by "embedded", but I'm guessing you're
looking for help on getting devmon to persuade xymon to make rrd
files. You've looked at the GRAPHING documentation?

The most specific advice I can offer is to pay attention to "If you
have a test where the value you want to graph is not a repeater (so
Devmon's RRD collector isn't useful),". In other words, if you have a
table in your <test>/message file resulting from "branch" lines in
your <test>/oids file (like any of the cisco if_load templates), use
"<test>=devmon" in your TEST2RRD line. If you use only "leaf" oids (no
tabular data) then use "<test>=ncv" and add its NCV_<test>= line
below.

For example, my TEST2RRD includes
cpu=la,memory,if_load=devmon,if_dsc=devmon,temp=devmon,connects=ncv,fans=devmon,power=ncv,env=ncv.
