There are - you can filter on pages, hostnames and testnames. See the 
description of the "xymondboard" command in th xymon(1) man-page - it's 
on http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man1/xymon.1.html

The man-page says that "wildcards are not supported". That's wrong, I'll 
have to fix that. The page/host/test strings are regular expressions, so 
you could use "host=www.*com" to get all hosts with a hostname that 
begins with "www" and ends with "com".

I just uploaded them a few minutes ago, they are in SVN now. It's 
web/appfeed.c which does most of the work, and then web/appfeed.sh as a 
wrapper for the CGI. appfeed-critical.sh is identical to appfeed.sh, 
except that it adds a "--critical=/etc/xymon/critical.cfg" option.

You can install it on top of any 4.3.x installation by building it, and 
then copying web/appfeed.cgi to ~xymon/server/bin/, and appfeed*.sh to 
~xymon/cgi-bin/ . And add the line
    CGI_APPFEED_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV"
to your cgioptions.cfg file, or the appfeed CGI might not pick up the 
right settings from your Xymon setup.
