NAME¶
RRDcollect -- Round-Robin Database Collecting Daemon.
SYNOPSIS¶
rrdcollect [
option]...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
rrdcollect daemon is responsible for fetching statistical data from
various soures (listed in
rrdcollect.conf), typically files under
/proc/ directory. It periodically reads them and searches for patterns
from configuration file. Values are then stored inside
rrdtool's
.rrd files.
OPTIONS¶
RRDcollect follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting
with two dashes (`-').
General options¶
- -c file
- --config=file
- Specifies which file should be read instead of
default config file.
- -n
- --no-fork
- Program will not fork. Very useful when testing or
debugging.
- -v
- --verbose
- Increase verbosity. This option also implies
--no-fork, since you probably don't want RRDcollect in daemon mode
trashing your terminal.
RRD update options¶
- -o file
- --output=file
- Specifies file to which rrdtool(1)-style
commands should be written. If file you specify is `-'
(hyphen), then commans are written to standard output (this case implies
--no-fork).
- -p
- --pipe
- --pipe=program
- When this option is used, RRDcollect will open pipe to
rrdtool(1) program and send it update commands. If you don't give
program, the compiled-in default is assumed (either ` rrdtool -
>/dev/null' or full path to rrdtool(1) binary). The
program option can be specified as a full path or just a command
name, in the latter case the program should reside on PATH.
If no RRD update option is given, RRDcollect uses internal librrd routines (the
preferred mode of operation). If RRDcollect is not compiled with librrd, then
it will fall back to pipe-mode.
- -V
- --version
- Display RRDcollect's version, compile-time options and
license.
- -h
- --help
- Show summary of options.
- --usage
- Show short usage information.

/etc/rrdcollect.conf
