NAME

       orcahobbit - Xymon client utility to grab data from ORCA

SYNOPSIS

       orcahobbit --orca=PREFIX [options]

NOTICE

       This  utility is included in the client distribution for Xymon 4.2.  However, the backend module to parse the data it sends it NOT included
       in Xymon 4.2. It is possible to use the generic Xymon NCV data handler in hobbitd_rrd(8) to process ORCA data, if you have an  urgent  need
       to do so.

DESCRIPTION

       orcahobbit  is an add-on tool for the Xymon client. It is used to grab data collected by the ORCA data collection tool (orcallator.se), and
       send it to the Xymon server in NCV format.

       orcahobbit should run from the client hobbitlaunch(8) utility, i.e. there must be an entry in the clientlaunch.cfg(5) file for orcahobbit.

OPTIONS

       --orca=PREFIX
	      The filename prefix for the ORCA data log. Typically this is the directory for the ORCA logs, followed by "orcallator".  The  actual
	      filename for the ORCA logs include a timestamp and sequence number, e.g. "orcallator-2006-06-20-000". This option is required.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.
