NAME

6       reposd - SBLIM metric repository daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       reposd [argument]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The reposd program is a system daemon that maintains a temporary
13       repository of raw performance metrics for various system components.
14       Raw metric data is forwarded from a seperate collection daemon that is
15       located either locally or remotely (see gatherd(8)). The calculation of
16       usable metrics from raw data is performed via repository metric
17       plugins. The repository communication port, location of plugin
18       directory, and other controllable configuration options are described
19       in the configuration file man page (see reposd.conf(5)).
20
21       The reposd daemon can be controlled at runtime by way of the
22       reposctl(8) command. This provides the ability to query metric values
23       or load and unload metric plugins online without the need to restart
24       reposd.
25
26       The primary goal of the the sblim-gather package is to implement the
27       DMTF's Base Metric Model (DSP1053). While, reposd, gatherd(8), and
28       their plugins can be used standalone, the greatest benefit comes from
29       using their CIM provider layer in conjuction with a CIM Object Manager
30       (see cimserver(1)). For more information about CIM and the Base Metric
31       Model refer to the Distrubuted Management Task Force (DMTF) at
32       http://www.dmtf.org.

OPTIONS

35       argument
36           reposd daemonizes by default. Passing any value on the command line
37           will cause it to run in the terminal.
