Cool. I tried some variations of wildcards but couldn't get one to work, but the way you have does work
xymongrep "tls*"
will pick up tls alone and tls=url
Thanks,

There are xymon tests which include additional parameters. For example:
the network tests can include a port number, and apache has a url.
Currently, xymongrep doesn't support these, because it only works with
exact matches. It would be nice for it to be able to recognize colon
(tag:parameter or tag:parameter1,parameter2) and equals (tag=parameter or
tag=parameter1,parameter2) and supply these as additional words in the
output.
Just an idea, in case it's considered useful for a future version.
Hi Glauber,
It needs to be documented better, but xymongrep does actually support
wildcards for matching (I believe of the posix variety). Thus ports, ':',
and '=' test variations should be retrievable. I.e.,:
[root at localhost ~]# xymoncmd xymongrep dns* | grep '='
216.239.32.10 ns1.google.com # dns=a:google.com
(From a script, you might need to escape the wildcard)
URL styles of tags can be retrieved that way too, but I agree that having
them easily reachable by test type /alone/ would be a nice feature.
HTH,
