NAME

       dlt-daemon - Diagnostic Log and Trace daemon

SYNOPSIS

       dlt-daemon [-h] [-d] [-c filename] [-t directory] [-p port] [-a filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  DLT  daemon  is  the  central place where logs and traces are gathered from different
       applications,  stored  temporarily  or  permanently  and  transferred  to  a  DLT   client
       application,  which  can  run  directly  on the COVESA system or more likely on a external
       tester device.

   OPTIONS
       -h     Display a short help text.

       -d     Daemonize, needed in System V init systems.

       -c     Load  an  alternative  configuration  file.   By  default  the  configuration  file
              /etc/dlt.conf is loaded.

       -t     Directory  for  local fifo and user-pipes (Default: /tmp).  Applications wanting to
              connect to a  daemon  using  a  custom  directory  need  to  be  started  with  the
              environment variable DLT_PIPE_DIR set appropriately.

       -p     Port  to  monitor  for  incoming  requests  (Default: 3490) Applications wanting to
              connect to a daemon using a custom port need to be  started  with  the  environment
              variable DLT_DAEMON_TCP_PORT set appropriately.

       -a     Load  an  alternative configuration for app id log level defaults.  By default, the
              configuration file /etc/dlt-log-levels.conf is loaded.

       Start DLT daemon in background mode: dlt-daemon -d

       Start DLT daemon with own configuration: dlt-daemon -c ~/my-dlt-configuration.cfg

       Start DLT daemon with custom pipes directory: dlt-daemon -t ~/dlt_pipes

       Start DLT daemon listening on custom port 3500: dlt-daemon -p 3500
