NAME

       clamdtop - monitor the Clam AntiVirus Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       clamdtop [options] [clamdspec ...]

DESCRIPTION

       clamdtop  is  a tool to monitor one or multiple clamd(s).  It has a (color) ncurses interface, that shows the jobs in clamd's queue, memory
       usage, and information about the loaded signature database.  You can specify on the command-line to which clamd(s) it should connect to. By
       default it will attempt to connect to the local clamd as defined in clamd.conf.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display help information and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print version number and exit.  --config-file=FILE Read clamd settings from FILE, to determine how to connect to it.

       clamdspec
	      Specifies  the  clamd  to  connect to: either a path to the local (unix domain) socket of clamd, or an IP address and an port number
	      (that defaults to 3310) to connect to a local or remote clamd using TCP/IP.

OVERVIEW

   KEYS:
       H

	      Displays a short helpscreen, describing the meaning of various elements on the display.

       Q

	      Quits clamdtop

       R

	      Resets the maximum values.

       up arrow, down arrow

	      If you are monitoring multiple clamds then clamdtop will show an overview screen by default. You can use	the  up  arrow	and   down
	      arrow keys to cycle through each clamd individually, and the overview screen.  A blue bar will highlight the clamd that is currently
	      shown in detail. On the overview screen none of the clamds is selected (hence no blue bar), and you can see the items from the queue
	      of all clamds.

   The top bar
       Shows the version of clamdtop and the current time. Clamdtop updates the display once every 2 seconds.

   The list of clamds
       Shows the clamds that clamdtop is connected to, and statistics about them.

       NO     Unique clamd number

       CONNTIME
	      How long clamdtop has been connected (reset upon a reconnect)

       LIV    Total number of live threads

       IDL    Total number of idle threads

       QUEUE  Number of items in queue

       MAXQ   Maximum number of items observed in the queue

       MEM    Total memory usage (if available)

       HOST   Which clamd, local means unix socket

       ENGINE Engine version

       DBVER  Database version

       DBTIME Database publish time

   Clamd detailed view
       Primary threads live
	      The number of threads that are executing commands or scanning.

       Primary threads idle
	      The number of threads that are idle, waiting for commands. They will exit after IdleTimeout (30 seconds).

       Primary threads max
	      The maximum number of threads configured.

       Queue items
	      The number of items (scanjobs) in clamd's queue that are waiting for a free thread to be processed.

       Queue max
	      The maximum number of items observed in clamd's queue.

   The memory usage view
       If available, it will show details on clamd's memory usage:

       Mem heap
	      The amount of memory used by libc from the heap in MegaBytes.

       Mem mmap
	      The amount of memory used by libc from mmap-allocated memory in MegaBytes.

       Mem unused
	      The amount of memory that can be reclaimed by libc.

       Libc used
	      The amount of useful memory allocated by libc.

       Libc free
	      The amount of memory allocated by libc, that can't be freed due to fragmentation.

       Libc total
	      The amount of memory allocated by libc from the system in total.

       Pool count
	      The number of mmap regions allocated by clamd' memory pool allocator (for the signature database).

       Pool used
	      The amount of memory used by clamd's memory pool allocator (for the signature database).

       Total  The total amount of memory allocated by clamd's memory pool allocator.

   The clamd job queue
       COMMAND
	      Kind of command being executed, STATS is clamdtop, SCAN/CONTSCAN/FILDES/MULTISCAN is scan of a file/directory, MULTISCANFILE is scan
	      of one item by a MULTISCAN job.

       QUEUEDSINCE
	      The time since the command got queued, until now.

       FILE   The name of the file being processed (if applicable).

EXAMPLES

       (1) To connect to the clamd configured in the default clamd.conf:

	      clamdtop

       (2) To connect to the clamd configured in another clamd.conf:

	      clamdtop --config-file=/path/to/clamd.conf

       (3) To connect to a clamd running on another machine (192.168.0.3) on the LAN:

	      clamdtop 192.168.0.3

       (4) To connect to a clamd running on another machine (192.168.0.3) on a non-default port (3410):

	      clamdtop 192.168.0.3:3410

       (5) To monitor the local clamd and 2 other remote clamds over TCP/IP:

	      clamdtop localhost 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4

NOTES

       clamdtop uses colors if the terminal is capable of colors.  If you know your terminal is capable of colors, yet you aren't seeing any, then
       check  that  your  TERM	environment variable is set correctly.	For example try setting it to TERM=xterm-color if you are in an xterm-like
       environment.

RETURN CODES

       0 : Normal terminator

       >0: Error occured.
