## 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.
