NAME

       RRDcollect  --  Round-Robin Database Collecting Daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       rrdcollect [option]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  rrdcollect  daemon  is  responsible for fetching statistical data from various soures
       (listed in rrdcollect.conf), typically files  under  /proc/  directory.   It  periodically
       reads  them  and  searches  for  patterns from configuration file.  Values are then stored
       inside rrdtool's .rrd files.

OPTIONS

       RRDcollect follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two
       dashes (`-').

   General options
       -c file
       --config=file
           Specifies which file should be read instead of default config file.

       -n
       --no-fork
           Program will not fork.  Very useful when testing or debugging.

       -v
       --verbose
           Increase verbosity.  This option also implies --no-fork, since you probably don't want
           RRDcollect in daemon mode trashing your terminal.

   RRD update options
       -o file
       --output=file
           Specifies file to which rrdtool(1)-style commands should  be  written.   If  file  you
           specify  is  `-'  (hyphen),  then  commans  are  written to standard output (this case
           implies --no-fork).

       -p
       --pipe
       --pipe=program
           When this option is used, RRDcollect will open pipe to rrdtool(1) program and send  it
           update  commands.   If  you  don't  give  program,  the compiled-in default is assumed
           (either `rrdtool - >/dev/null' or full path to rrdtool(1) binary).  The program option
           can be specified as a full path or just a command name, in the latter case the program
           should reside on PATH.

       If no RRD update option is given, RRDcollect uses internal librrd routines (the  preferred
       mode  of operation).  If RRDcollect is not compiled with librrd, then it will fall back to
       pipe-mode.

   Help and information
       -V
       --version
           Display RRDcollect's version, compile-time options and license.

       -h
       --help
           Show summary of options.

       --usage
           Show short usage information.
