Actually I'm more confused than before now ;-)

So there is a ClusterMon OCF RA that is started by the cluster, and that monitor starts "crm_mon" to periodically dump the configuration to a HTML file. If all I can get is a text dump of the configuration, it's rather ridiculous.

I fail to see the connection to the argument to option "-E" in the documentation you are referring to, and section 7.3 (The example) really lacks an example how such variables look like (and what to do with them).

Regards,
Ulrich
