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.
