DESCRIPTION

       hobbitd_filestore  is  a  worker  module for hobbitd, and as such it is
       normally run via the hobbitd_channel(8) program.  It  receives  hobbitd
       messages  from  a  hobbitd  channel  via stdin, and stores these in the
       filesystem in a manner that is compatible with the Big Brother  daemon,
       bbd.

       This  program  can  be  started  multiple  times,  if you want to store
       messages for more than one channel.

OPTIONS

       --status
              Incoming messages are "status" messages, they will be stored  in
              the  $BBLOGS/  directory.  If  you are using xymon(7) throughout
              your Xymon server, you will not need to run this module to  save
              status messages, unless you have a third-party add-on that reads
              the status-logs directly.  This module  is  NOT  needed  to  get
              trend  graphs, you should run the hobbitd_rrd(8) module instead.

       --data Incoming messages are "data" messages, they will  be  stored  in
              the  $BBDATA  directory.  This  module is not needed, unless you
              have a third-party module that processes  the  data-files.  This
              module  is  NOT  needed  to get trend graphs, you should run the
              hobbitd_rrd(8) module instead.

       --notes
              Incoming messages are "notes" messages, they will be  stored  in
              the  $BBNOTES directory. This modules is only needed if you want
              to allow people to remotely update the notes-files available  on
              the Xymon webpages.

       --enadis
              Incoming  messages are enable/disable messages, they will update
              files in the $BBDISABLED directory. This is only needed  if  you
              have third-party add-ons that use these files.

       --dir=DIRECTORY
              Overrides the default output directory.

       --html Used  together  with "--status". Tells hobbitd_filestore to also
              save an HTML version of  the  status-log.  Should  not  be  used
              unless you must run with "BBLOGSTATUS=static".

       --htmldir=DIRECTORY
              The directory where HTML-versions of the status logs are stored.
              Default: $BBHTML

       --htmlext=.EXT
              Set the filename extension for generated HTML files. By default,
              HTML files are saved with a ".html" extension.

       --multigraphs=TEST1[,TEST2]
              This causes hobbitd_filestore to generate HTML status pages with
              links to service graphs that are split up into multiple  images,
              with  at  most  5  graphs  per image. If not specified, only the
              "disk" status is split up this way.

       --only=test[,test,test]
              Save status messages only for the listed set of tests. This  can
              be  useful  if  you  have an external script that needs to parse
              some of the status logs, but you do not want to save all  status
              logs.

       --debug
              Enable debugging output.
