Superb.  Then acking alerts from the app should be cake.

Great.

Will do.  Are there other possible keys for filter? (Thinking of a more
intuitive interface than just entering filter text.)

I already had this request as well, so that's fantastic!

Thanks, Henrik.  Quick turnaround.  I should have a version of XymonQV
out this weekend to use this interface.  Any chance I can get the source
of appfeed.sh and appfeed-critical.sh so I can test somewhere other than
xymon.com?  I check svn but didn't see them committed.

Cheers,
