Name

       ganeti-luxid - Ganeti query daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-luxid [-f] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       ganeti-luxid  is  a  daemon  used  to  answer queries related to the configuration and the
       current live state of a Ganeti cluster.

       For testing purposes, you can give the -f option and the program  won't  detach  from  the
       running terminal.

       Debug-level message can be activated by giving the -d option.

       Logging to syslog, rather than its own log file, can be enabled by passing in the --syslog
       option.

       The ganeti-luxid daemon listens on a Unix socket (/var/run/ganeti/socket/ganeti-query)  on
       which  it  exports a Luxi endpoint, serving query operations only.  Commands and tools use
       this socket if the build-time option for split queries has been enabled.

       The daemon will refuse to start if the user and group do not  match  the  one  defined  at
       build time; this behaviour can be overridden by the --no-user-checks option.

   ROLE
       The  role  of the query daemon is to answer queries about the (live) cluster state without
       going through the master daemon.  Only queries which don't require locks can be handles by
       the query daemon, which might lead to slightly outdated results in some cases.

       The  config is reloaded from disk automatically when it changes, with a rate limit of once
       per second.

   COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
       See gnt-master(8).
