collectd-tg - Traffic generator for collectd.
collectd-tg -n num_vl -H num_hosts
-p num_plugins -i interval -d dest
-D dport
collectd-tg generates bogus collectd network
traffic. While host, plugin and values are generated randomly, the generated
traffic tries to mimic "real" traffic as closely as possible.
The following options are understood by collectd-tg. The
order of the arguments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is
passed more than once.
- -n num_vl
- Sets the number of unique value lists (VL) to generate. Defaults to
10000.
- -H num_hosts
- Sets the number of unique hosts to simulate. Defaults to 1000.
- -p
num_plugins
- Sets the number of unique plugins to simulate. Defaults to 20.
- -i interval
- Sets the interval in which each value list is dispatched. Defaults
to 10.0 seconds.
- -d dest
- Sets the destination to which to send the generated network traffic.
Defaults to the IPv6 multicast address,
"ff18::efc0:4a42".
- -D dport
- Sets the destination port or service to which to send the generated
network traffic. Defaults to collectd's default port,
25826.
- -h
- Print usage summary.
