I can't get it to kick back anything. I've tried prefixing it with
xymoncmd, using --test-untagged, naming specific tests.
The undocumented --no-down causes it to

Does xymongrep work for anyone else?

Hi,

It looks like it's successfully reading the config files and/or getting
current data from xymond.

Have you tried escaping the '*'? It's possible your shell is eating it off
the command line.

For the specific tests, remember that this will only work for tests
actually specified in hosts.cfg (and includes).... "xymongrep conn" or
"xymongrep disk" won't work since those tests aren't proscribed in the
config. (For something similar, you can run a xymondboard command by hand
though...)
