monitorix(8)              Monitorix collector daemon              monitorix(8)


NAME

       monitorix - a lightweight system monitoring tool


SYNOPSIS

       monitorix -c configfile [-p pidfile] [-d none | graph[,graph] | all]
       [-v] [-n]


DESCRIPTION

       This Perl daemon starts the main Monitorix process, which gathers
       statistics about the system it is running on and stores this
       information in a set of RRD files.


OPTIONS

       -c configfile
              The default location of the configuration file varies depending
              on the operating system:

              Linux:        /etc/monitorix.conf
              FreeBSD:      /usr/local/etc/monitorix.conf

       -p pidfile
              Stores the daemon's process ID into the specified file.

       -d none | graph[,graph] | all
              Logs more information about what monitorix is doing internally.
              The keys reflect if the data collected must be displayed on each
              case. If all is defined, the data collected of all enabled
              graphs will be shown. If none is defined no data collected will
              be shown. Finally it is also possible to define a comma-
              separated list of graph names from which show their data
              collected.
              For a reference of all graph names check the option graph_name
              in the monitorix.conf configuration file.

       -v     Displays version information.

       -n     This argument will prevent Monitorix from daemonizing and force
              it to run in the foreground.


SIGNALS

       On receipt of a SIGHUP, monitorix will close and reopen its log file.
       This is useful in scripts which rotate and age log files.

       Note that the configuration file is not re-read.


FILES

       The following set of the files are created on every startup:

       <base_dir>/cgi/monitorix.conf.path
               Stores the path of configfile.

       <base_dir>/cgi/monitorix.hplog
               Stores the output of hplog command.

       <base_dir>/index.html
               HTML main page.
