NAME

6       collectd-tg - Traffic generator for collectd.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       collectd-tg -n num_vl -H num_hosts -p num_plugins -i interval -d dest
10       -D dport
11

DESCRIPTION

13       collectd-tg generates bogus collectd network traffic. While host,
14       plugin and values are generated randomly, the generated traffic tries
15       to mimic "real" traffic as closely as possible.
16

ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS

18       The following options are understood by collectd-tg. The order of the
19       arguments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is passed
20       more than once.
