Henrik, has the format of hobbitdboard / xymondboard changed much between versions?? It would be fairly easy to make that available via a cgi script and it would be easier to parse than html.
No, this format is fairly static - and you can make it entirely "fixed" by adding a "fields" option to select the data-items you are interested in.
But to pick only the hosts that appear on a specific page must be done on the Xymon server - you don't want to download a lot of info to the smartphone, just to throw it away later (unless you have a flat-rate data plan for your smartphone, and I don't).
And when we have to code the filtering, we may just as well add the code to provide the data in a standardized format. Something similar to the xymondxboard output, probably.
