HOBBITD_CLIENT(8)
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 hobbitclients.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 processlisting 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 netstatlisting 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.
