## NAME

Xymon XMH variables - Configuration items available online

## DESCRIPTION

The hosts.cfg(5) file is the most important configuration file for all of the Xymon programs. This file contains the full list of all the systems monitored by Xymon, including the set of tests and other configuration items stored for each host.

Although the file is in text format and can be searched using tools like xymongrep(1) it can be difficult to pick out specific fields from the configuration due to quoting and other text parsing issues. So Xymon allows for querying this information directly from the xymond daemon via the "xymondboard" command. So the information can be provided together with the current status of a host and/or test. This is done by adding a "fields" definition to the "xymondboard" command.
