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  main  configuration  file  varies  depending  on  the
              operating system:

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

              Extra  configuration  files  can  be  placed in /etc/monitorix/conf.d, they will be
              loaded right after the main configuration file (overriding previous options).

       -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 hence, forcing it to run
              in foreground. This is specially useful for debugging purposes.

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.
