noitd — Reconnoiter scout daemon
noitd [-c] [-u user] [-g group] [-t path] [-d] [-D] [-l logstream] [-L logstream] [-M] [-h]
noitd is the daemon that performs all health and metric checks. Generally, one is run in each environment (secured subnet).
-uOptionally specifies a username or uid under which to operate.
-gOptionally specifies a group name or gid under which to operate.
-tOptionally specifies a path to chroot(2) for operation. Measures must be taken to ensure that log files can be accessed in the chrooted environment.
-c
Specifies a configuration file to read. The initial configuration
is read from this file and write config commands
will write to this file. The default location of the configuration
file is noitd.conf in the sysconfdir specified
at build time.
-lMarks the enabled bit for the specified log stream. This enables the stream even if it is disabled in the configuration file. It must exist in the configuration file.
-LDisables the enabled bit for the specified log stream. This disables the stream even if it is enabled in the configuration file. It must exist in the configuration file.
-DInstructs noitd to run in the foreground. Normally, noitd consists of a management process and a child process that performs all actions. This prevents that scenario and runs only the child process attached to the terminal. This is primarily for debugging purposes.
-dEnables the debug output facility despite configuration to the contrary.
-MInstructs noitd to exit immediately if there where any problems loading specified modules.
-hDisplays the usage information.
