NAME

collector - RRFW data Collector.

SYNOPSIS

collector --tree=TREENAME [options...]

DESCRIPTION

This command starts the Collector process for the tree TREENAME. By default it forks into a daemon, sets the log output file to /usr/local/rrfw-0.1/var/log/collector.TREENAME.log, performs one Collector cycle, and sleeps until the next cycle is scheduled. In daemon mode the log file can be reopened by sending it a SIGHUP signal.

Collector cycle scheduling is controlled by two parameters defined for each individual configuration leaf: collector-period and collector-timeoffset. See the RRFW Configuration Guide for more details.

The number of OID (Object IDentifier) variable bindings sent by Collector is controlled by the datasource parameter snmp-oids-per-pdu. It is set to a default value of 40 in snmp-defs.xml, and may be overwritten at the host level.

OPTIONS

--nodaemon

--runonce

Instructs the script to run once and exit. Implies --nodaemon.

--debug

--verbose
