DESCRIPTION

16       The  arm4_daemon program collects ARM 4 measurement data from the ARM 4
17       libraries and saves the measurements in a local database.  While  there
18       will normally be many instances of the instrumented applications, there
19       will typically be only one instance of the  arm4_daemon  running  at  a
20       time.
21

CONFIGURATION

23       Configuration  options  are  set in the configuration file. The default
24       configuration is /etc/arm4.conf, although this can be overridden  using
25       the  --config  command  line option. See arm4.conf(5) for more informa‐
26       tion.

DATAFILES

29       The arm4_daemon program uses the Berkeley database to store transaction
30       information.  Rather  than  a  single file, this database uses separate
31       files fore each database table. For simplicity, all database files  are
32       stored  in a single directory. Therefore specifying a database or data‐
33       base archive location is really specifying the directory in  which  the
34       files are stored.
35
36       The  default location for the database files is /var/lib/arm4/data. For
37       backup   files,   a   time   stamped   directory   is   created   under
38       /var/lib/arm4/data/backup.  Each  of  these  directories can be changed
39       using the arm4.conf configuration file.

OPTIONS

42       -h, --help
43              display the command line options
44
45       -V, --Version
46              display the program version and exit
47
48       -v, --verbose
49              output diagnostic information as the program is  run.  This  may
50              not  be suitable when running in the background as a true daemon
51              but can be useful for debugging.
52
53       -C, --Config config_file
54              specifies a configuration file  for  this  instance  instead  of
55              using  the default configuration file. The default configuration
56              file /etc/arm4.conf is used if none is specified.
57
58       -d, --debug
59              run the daemon as a foreground process. This is  primarily  used
60              for debugging.
61
62       -s, --stats
63              periodically  display statistics on the message queues and data‐
64              base processes.
65
66       -o, --off
67              Start the agent as a "null" collector. Although the collector is
68              active,  no  data  is actually collected. This can be controlled
69              using the arm4_control utility.
