.SH DESCRIPTION
The program analyses ISC dhcpd shared network and pool usage and outputs the
results in a format selected by user.
.SH OUTPUT FIELDS
.TP
.I "shared net name"
Name of the shared-network for the range.
.TP
.I "first ip"
First IP in lease pool range.
.TP
.I "last ip"
Last IP in lease pool range.
.TP
.I "max"
Number of IPs which exist in a pool, shared network or all together.
.TP
.I "cur"
Number of leases currently in use.
.TP
.I "percent"
Percent of IPs currently in use compared to max.
.TP
.I "touch"
Number of IP's which appear in the lease file, but who's leases have expired.
A touched IP is either expired or abandoned.  The touched IP count is
somewhat misleading when you try to determine if an IP pool is big enough; it
is a better indicator of whether a pool is too large.
.TP
.I "t+c"
The sum of Touched and Currently in-use leases.
.TP
.I "t+c perc"
Percent of IPs either touched or currently in use, compared to max.
.TP
.I "bu"
Failover pair can allocate these addresses.  The count appears only if there
is failover configuration.
.TP
.I "bu perc"
Percent of addresses that failover pair can allocate.  The percent appears
only if there is failover configuration.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR=\fIFILE\fR
Path to the dhcpd.conf file.  If the dhcpd.conf has include files they
can be analysed separately, that can be useful when trying to understand
or monitor subset of data.
.TP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-leases\fR=\fIFILE\fR
Path to the dhcpd.leases file.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sort\fR=\fI[nimcptTe]\fR
Sort ranges by chosen fields as a sorting keys.  Keys weight from left to
right, i.e., if more weighting keys are equal next one is used.  The IP
field is default sort key.
.TP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-reverse\fR
Sort results in reverse order.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR=\fI[tHcxXjJ]\fR
Output format.
Text
.RI ( t ).
Full-html
.RI ( H )
page output.
The
.RI ( c )
stands for comma-separated values.  Output format xml
.RI ( x )
is similar to the dhcpstatus Perl module output.  The extended xml
.RI ( X )
format will print ethernet address details.  The
.RI ( j )
will output in json format, which can be extended with
.RI ( J )
to include ethernet address.
.IP
The default format is
.IR text .
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fIFILE\fR
.I File
where output is written.  Default is stdout.
.TP
\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-limit\fR=\fINR\fR
The
.I NR
will limit what will be printed.  Syntax is similar to
.IR chmod (1)
permission string.  The
.I NR
limit string uses two digits which vary between
.IR 0 \ to \ 7 .
The first digit determines which headers to display, and the second digit
determines which numeric analysis tables to include in the output.  The
following values are "OR'd" together to create the desired output.  The
default is
.IR 77 .
.IP
.TS
tab(:);
ll.
0\fI1\fR:Print ranges
0\fI2\fR:Print shared networks
0\fI4\fR:Print total summary
\fI1\fR0:Print range header
\fI2\fR0:Print shared network header
\fI4\fR0:Print total summary header
.TE
.IP
The output limit for total summary has special meaning in
.B \-\-warning
and
.B \-\-critical
alarming context.  When the alarming is in use, and total is not wanted
to be seen then in the case of alarming returning success nothing is
printed.
.TP
\fB\-\-warning\fR=\fIpercent\fR
Turn on alarm output format, and specify percentage number which will
cause an alarm.  If either a range or shared network will exceed
warning level return value of the command is
.BR 1 .
If only range monitoring is needed one can use limit option for scoping,
for example
.IR \-L10 .
To monitor shared network only the limit would be
.IR \-L20 .
If warning percentage is not specified it defaults to
.BR 80 .
The
.I percent
argument allows fractions, e.g., 88.8, to be used.
.TP
\fB\-\-critical\fR=\fIpercent\fR
The option is similar to warning, with exception of return value which
is
.BR 2 .
If critical percentage is not specified it defaults to
.BR 90 .
.TP
\fB\-\-warn\-count\fR=\fInumber\fR
A
.I number
of free leases before alarm is raised.  When specified both \-\-warning
.I percent
and count
.I number
are required to be exceeded in order to alarm criteria being fulfilled.
.IP
This option is intended to be used in setup where very large and small
shared-networks and ranges co-exists.  In such environments percent based
alarming can lead to either flood of alarms about small ranges, or way too
great overhead of free addresses in large shared-networks.  Suggested usage
is to set percentage to a level that makes small ranges to ring, and set the
count to match level when an enormous shared-network is too few free leases.
.IP
Defaults to 2^32, that is size of entire IPv4 address space.
.TP
\fB\-\-crit\-count\fR=\fInumber\fR
Same as \-\-warn\-count, but for critical alarms.
.TP
\fB\-\-snet\-alarms
Suppress range alarms that are part of shared networks.  Use of this option
will keep alarm criteria applied to ranges that are not part of shared-net
along with shared-net alarms.  This option may help reducing alarm noise for
configurations that has lots of small ranges in big shared-networks.
.TP
\fB\-\-minsize\fR=\fIsize\fR
Ignore ranges and shared networks that are smaller or equal to the
defined size.  This option is meaningful only in context of alarming, and
will intended to suppress for example single host ranges.  By default this
option is not in use.
.TP
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-perfdata\fR
Print additional performance data, like lease count, touched leases and
backup leases.  This option is meaningful only in context of alarming and
will print lots of data, if there are many networks.  By default this option
is not in use.
.TP
\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-all\-as\-shared\fR
Treat all stand-alone subnets as shared-network with named formed from it's
CIDR.  By default this option is not in use for backwards compatibility.
.TP
\fB\-\-ip\-version\fR=\fI4|6\fR
Force command to read configuration and leases files in IPv4 or IPv6 mode.
Notice that when inputs do not match with what is forced analysis output is
garbage.  This option should not be necessary to use, and exists only to
allow debugging.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version information to standard output and exit successfully.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Print help to standard output and exit successfully.
