NAME

       hobbitd_client - hobbitd worker module for client data

SYNOPSIS

       hobbitd_channel --channel=client hobbitd_client [options]

DESCRIPTION

       hobbitd_client  is  a  worker  module  for  hobbitd, and as such it is normally run via the hobbitd_channel(8) program. It receives hobbitd
       client messages sent from systems that have the the Xymon client installed, and use the client data to generate the Xymon  status  messages
       for  the  cpu-,	disk-,	memory-  and  procs-columns.  It also feeds Xymon data messages with the netstat- and vmstat-data collected by the
       client.

       When generating these status messages from the client data, hobbitd_client  will  use  the  configuration  rules  defined  in  the  hobbit-
       clients.cfg(5) file to determine the color of each status message.

OPTIONS

       --clear-color=COLOR
	      Define  the  color  used	when  sending  "msgs",	"files" or "ports" reports and there are no rules to check for these statuses. The
	      default is to show a "clear" status, but some people prefer to have it "green".  If you would rather prefer not to see these  status
	      columns at all, then you can use the "--no-clear-msgs", "--no-clear-files" and "--no-clear-ports" options instead.

       --no-clear-msgs
	      If there are no logfile checks, the "msgs" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "msgs" column, this
	      option causes hobbitd_client to not send in a clear "msgs" status.

       --no-clear-files
	      If there are no file checks, the "files" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "files" column,  this
	      option causes hobbitd_client to not send in a clear "files" status.

       --no-clear-ports
	      If  there are no port checks, the "ports" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "ports" column, this
	      option causes hobbitd_client to not send in a clear "ports" status.

       --no-ps-listing
	      Normally the "procs" status message includes the full process-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have the moni-
	      tored processes shown, this option will turn off the full ps-listing.

       --no-port-listing
	      Normally the "ports" status message includes the full netstat-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have the moni-
	      tored ports shown, this option will turn off the full netstat-listing.

       --config=FILENAME
	      Sets the filename for the hobbit-clients.cfg file. The default value is "etc/hobbit-clients.cfg" below the Xymon server directory.

       --dump-config
	      Dumps the configuration after parsing it. May be useful to track down problems with configuration file errors.

       --test Starts an interactive session where you can test the hobbit-clients.cfg configuration.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.
