NAME
spmonitor - Spread Monitoring and Adminstration client
SYNOPSIS
spmonitor [-n proc_name] [-c config_file] [-t status_timeout] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
spmonitor Provides a general monitoring and administrative tool for the
Spread system. The spmonitor program can send queries and commands to
Spread daemons to either gather debugging or performance statistics, or
to shut down specific daemons or change flow control parameters of the
system to tune performance.
Some details about the effective use of the spmonitor program are
contained in the Users Guide which is available from the Spread web
site www.spread.org.
OPTIONS
-t status_timeout
The seconds between every status report. The default is 10.
-p port
The port number, to which the spmonitor program should connect
in order to reach a Spread daemon.
-n proc_name
Force this daemon to be identified by a specific process name.
-c config-file
Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of
./spread.conf.
FILES
./spread.conf
The default config file location. /etc/spread.conf is also
searched if a local file is not found.
BUGS
The spmonitor works by sending UDP packets to the Spread daemon, so if
network losses occur, commands or status reports can be lost. It can
also lose reports when monitoring a large number of daemons.
