NAME

       xymond_capture - catch selected messages from a xymond channel

SYNOPSIS

       xymond_channel --channel=status xymond_capture [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xymond_capture  is  a  worker module for xymond, and as such it is normally run via the xymond_channel(8)
       program. It receives messages from xymond via stdin and filters them to  select  messages  based  on  the
       hostname,  testname or color of the status.  By default the resulting messages are printed on stdout, but
       they can also be fed into a command for further processing.

       xymond_capture supports the status, data, client and hostdata channels.

OPTIONS

       --hosts=PATTERN
              Select messages only from hosts matching PATTERN (regular expression).

       --exhosts=PATTERN
              Exclude messages from hosts matching PATTERN. If used with the --hosts option, then  the  hostname
              must match the --hosts pattern, but NOT the --exhosts pattern.

       --tests=PATTERN
              Select messages only from tests matching PATTERN (regular expression).

       --extests=PATTERN
              Exclude  messages  from tests matching PATTERN. If used with the --tests option, then the testname
              must match the --tests pattern, but NOT the --extests pattern.

       --colors=COLOR[,color]
              Select messages based on the color of the status message. Multiple colors can be listed, separated
              by comma. Default: Accept all colors.

       --batch-command=COMMAND
              Instead  of  printing  the  messages  to stdout, feed them to COMMAND on stdin. COMMAND can be any
              command which accepts the mssage on standard input.

       --batch-timeout=SECONDS
              Collect messages until no messages have arrived in SECONDS seconds, before  sending  them  to  the
              --batch-command COMMAND.

       --client
              Capture data from the "client" channel instead of the default "status" channel.
