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.
