.SH "NAME"
kcollectd \- displays system time\-series monitoring information in collectd rrd datacollections

\fBkcollectd\fR [\fIKCollectd\ options\fR] [\fIfile\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBkcollectd\fR
is a simple application that presents
\fBcollectd\fR
time\-series data in a natural way\&. The mousewheel up and down action lets you zoom in and out, respectively, and click and dragging lets you move around (in the recorded history)\&. There is an automatic update\-and\-follow mode, which presents new data in real time, allowing
\fBkcollectd\fR
to be used as a status monitor\&.
.PP
At the left side of the window there is a tree that lists all identified
\fBcollectd\fR
data sources\&. You can display any such data by dragging it onto the desired graph in the right hand panel\&.
.PP
At the right, various data sources are shown in graphs\&. You can move the graph to the left or right with the mouse and zoom in or out with the mousewheel or the zoom buttons\&. Plots can be created and destroyed from the right\-click context menu\&. The context menu also allows for the deletion of unwanted data sources from a given graph\&.
.PP
At the lower left the auto\-update\-button switches
\fBkcollectd\fR
into the update\-and\-follow\-mode\&. In this mode the right side of the graph is pinned to the current time, and new data is presented in real time\&. The plot can still be zoomed with the mouse wheel\&.
