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.
