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 Hobbit client installed, and use the client data to generate the Hobbit status messages for the cpu-, disk-, memory- and procs-columns. It also feeds Hobbit 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

--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-clear-msgs
The Hobbit client does not currently generate data for a "msgs" status column. To avoid any such column from going purple, hobbitd_client will generate a "clear" status (indicating "no data") instead. If you are running a separate script on your clients that generates the "msgs" column, you must disable this default message by using this option.

--config=FILENAME
Sets the filename for the hobbit-clients.cfg file. The default value is "etc/hobbit-clients.cfg" below the Hobbit 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.
