Feature request: It would be handy to have xymongrep handle more than just
test lookups to save some scripting time. I think it would be awesome if
it was extended to allow you to reference a host and have it return the
tests for just that host (especially when it may be spread across multiple
entries) and allow an argument to get the CLIENT, NAME or other modifier as
needed.
Does this help:
$ $XYMON $XYMSRV 'hostinfo host=^hostname'
hostname.example.com
|192.168.67.101|testip|delayred=dns:15,conn:15|delayyellow=dns:10,conn:10|dns=SOA:
example.com|TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat\pvmstat3
From the "xymon" man page:
hostinfo [CRITERIA]
Retrieves the current configuration of a host (i.e.
the hosts.cfg(5) definition). CRITERIA selects which
host(s) to report, and is identical to the CRITERIA
in the xymondboard command.
The response is one line for each host that matches
the CRITERIA, or all hosts if no criteria is speci-
fied. The line is composed of a number of fields,
separated by a pipe-sign. The first two fields will
always be the hostname and the IP-address. The
remaining fields - if any - are the hosts.cfg tags in
no particular order.
I like this one because a client can query its own configuration remotely,
or the test and configuration functions of the Xymon server can
(potentially) be distributed.
