collector - Torrus data Collector.

torrus collector --tree=TREENAME [options...]

This command starts the Collector process for the tree TREENAME. By default it forks into a daemon, sets the log output file to /var/log/torrus/collector.TREENAME.log, performs one Collector cycle, and sleeps until the next cycle is scheduled. In daemon mode the log file can be reopened by sending it a SIGHUP signal.

Collector cycle scheduling is controlled by two parameters defined for each individual configuration leaf: CWcollector-period and CWcollector-timeoffset. See the Torrus Configuration Guide for more details.

The number of OID (Object IDentifier) variable bindings sent by Collector is controlled by the datasource parameter CWsnmp-oids-per-pdu. It is set to a default value of 40 in snmp-defs.xml, and may be overwritten at the host level.

--nodaemon

Prevents the process from becoming a daemon and sets the log to STDERR.

--runonce

Instructs the collector to run once and exit. Implies --nodaemon.

--runalways

Instructs the collector process to continue running even if no collector datasources are defined in the tree. In this case, the process will check once per hour if the configuration has changed.

--debug

Sets the log level to debug.

--verbose

Sets the debug level to info.

--help

Displays a help message.
