Found that shortly after I sent the mail (isn't that always the case?).
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.

Hey,
I have to be missing something obvious...is there a command, like xymongrep, that will grep the host file and honor the include? Yes, I could script it but it would be nice if it was avalable...or if xymon grep could search for more than the test but the host or modifiers (like CLIENT: or NAME:). Or am I just an idiot and missing something obvious.
Maybe you are looking for the 'xymoncfg' utility?
xymoncfg(1) dumps the full hosts.cfg file to stdout. It follows
"include" tags in the hosts.cfg files, and prints the full contents as
seen by the xymongen(1) and xymonnet(1) utilities.
