NAME

xymond_sample - example of a xymond worker module

SYNOPSIS

xymond_channel --channel=status xymond_sample [options]

DESCRIPTION

xymond_sample 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 simply displays these on stdout. It can be used with all types of xymond channels.

xymond_sample is not designed to actually run, except as a demonstration. The purpose of this tool is to show how xymond worker modules can be implemented to handle different tasks that need to hook into the xymond processing.

OPTIONS

--timeout=N: Read messages with a timeout of N seconds.
--debug: Enable debugging output.
