Get status from command line?
list Johan Sjöberg
Hi. Is it possible to get the current status for specified/all hosts from command line? I want to create a client-side script on the server that checks for purple statuses. We don't want to configure alerts for purple, since there are often multiple tests or hosts that go purple at the same time, and we don't want to be flooded with alerts. We are currently doing this by checking the nongreen.html file, but that's not a pretty solution. Best Regards, Johan Sjöberg

Actually, it seems like it is better to skip the "host=* test=*" section, since that is implicit. If they are specified, there are errors logged in the xymond.log: 2011-09-07 16:38:23 pcre compile '*' failed (offset 0): nothing to repeat 2011-09-07 16:38:23 pcre compile '*' failed (offset 0): nothing to repeat So the command is just ~/bin/xymon 0 "xymondboard color=purple" /Johan
