Coming from its roots as a script tool, there aren't too many options
available directly, as opposed to via the environment.
Typically, it's run from something run via xymonlaunch, or manually via:
xymoncmd --env=/path/to/xymonserver.cfg/or/xymonclient.cfg xymongrep
<options>
To just override the xymond source, you can pass in XYMSRV like:
XYMSRV=your.server.ip xymongrep --loadhostsfromxymond <options>

Hi JC,
When I do that I get:
2015-06-18 17:00:48.830778 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection

2015-06-18 17:00:48.830935 -> Could not connect to Xymon
daemon at 127.0.0.1:1984 (Connection refused)
This is on a remote client. I have a client doing lots of external tests
to offload them from the main xymon server. How is it picking up the
localhost, and how do I change it to the main xymon server?

Hi everyone,
In the changelog there is a changelog for xymongrep saying:
- xymongrep: don't load from xymond unless asked
But I can't find anywhere where it says how to ask xymond now? None
of
the switches in the man page or the helpfile say anything about it.
Anyone know?
Use the --loadhostsfromxymond option to xymongrep to do that. That
definitely should have been placed into the man page, but it looks like
it
was missed.
