NAME¶
hobbitd_client - hobbitd worker module for client data
SYNOPSIS¶
hobbitd_channel --channel=client hobbitd_client [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
hobbitd_client is a worker module for hobbitd, and as such it is normally run
via the
hobbitd_channel(8) program. It receives hobbitd client messages
sent from systems that have the the Xymon client installed, and use the client
data to generate the Xymon status messages for the cpu-, disk-, memory- and
procs-columns. It also feeds Xymon data messages with the netstat- and
vmstat-data collected by the client.
When generating these status messages from the client data, hobbitd_client will
use the configuration rules defined in the
hobbit-clients.cfg(5) file
to determine the color of each status message.
OPTIONS¶
- --clear-color=COLOR
- Define the color used when sending "msgs",
"files" or "ports" reports and there are no rules to
check for these statuses. The default is to show a "clear"
status, but some people prefer to have it "green". If you would
rather prefer not to see these status columns at all, then you can use the
"--no-clear-msgs", "--no-clear-files" and
"--no-clear-ports" options instead.
- --no-clear-msgs
- If there are no logfile checks, the "msgs" column
will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a
"msgs" column, this option causes hobbitd_client to not send in
a clear "msgs" status.
- --no-clear-files
- If there are no file checks, the "files" column
will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a
"files" column, this option causes hobbitd_client to not send in
a clear "files" status.
- --no-clear-ports
- If there are no port checks, the "ports" column
will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a
"ports" column, this option causes hobbitd_client to not send in
a clear "ports" status.
- --no-ps-listing
- Normally the "procs" status message includes the
full process-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have
the monitored processes shown, this option will turn off the full
ps-listing.
- --no-port-listing
- Normally the "ports" status message includes the
full netstat-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have
the monitored ports shown, this option will turn off the full
netstat-listing.
- --config=FILENAME
- Sets the filename for the hobbit-clients.cfg file.
The default value is "etc/hobbit-clients.cfg" below the Xymon
server directory.
- --dump-config
- Dumps the configuration after parsing it. May be useful to
track down problems with configuration file errors.
- --test
- Starts an interactive session where you can test the
hobbit-clients.cfg configuration.
- --debug
- Enable debugging output.
