NAME

       vzstats - report OpenVZ usage statistics

SYNOPSIS

       vzstats
       vzstats --view|--status
       vzstats --enable|--disable
       vzstats --help

DESCRIPTION

       Utility  vzstats, installed on an OpenVZ server, periodically collects some usage statistics and sends it
       to the OpenVZ stats server, http://stats.openvz.org, for processing and analysis.  Aggregated  statistics
       from all reports are available through the web interface.

       Statistics  reported  include some basic hardware information (CPU, RAM, file system and disk space usage
       for /vz), software information (distribution version, kernel version, OpenVZ software versions), and some
       OpenVZ-specific  information  (number  of  containers running/total, number of containers using vswap and
       ploop, used OS templates etc.). Information submission is anonymous; information  that  can  be  used  to
       directly identify a particular host (i.e. MAC or IP addresses, hostnames etc.) is not being reported.

       For  the  server  to  anonymously  identify reports from the same client, a unique random ID (UUID v4) is
       requested from the server during the first vzstats run. It is then saved locally and  used  when  sending
       reports.

       If  run  without any options and unless disabled, vzstats runs report scripts found in REPDIR (defined in
       vzstats.conf, default is /usr/lib/vzstats), collects their output and sends it, as a  tarball,  to  stats
       server.

OPTIONS

       In  case  any  option  is  provided,  no report is being send, instead an action denoted by the option is
       performed.

       The following options are supported:

       --view Collect but do not send report, giving a user an ability to see what exact  information  would  be
              send.

       --config
              Output current vzstats configuration, including:
              • current version number;
              • status (enabled or disabled);
              • an URL used to submit reports to;
              • vzstats UUID;
              • report scripts directory.

       --disable
              Disable  reporting. This is performed by creating a marker file, /etc/vz/vzstats-disable.  vzstats
              checks this file upon start, and exits if it is present.

       --enable
              Re-enable reporting.

       --help Show usage.
