NAME
bolo2redis - Bolo Redis Subscriber
SYNOPSIS
bolo2redis -e tcp://host:port -H redis.my.domain -P 6379
bolo2redis -F
bolo2redis -u nobody -g nogroup --pidfile /var/run/my.pid
DESCRIPTION
bolo is a lightweight monitoring system kernel that aggregates counter
data and sample readings, maintains event and state information, and
broadcasts its findings to all connected *bolo subscribers*. These
subscribers can perform a wide variety of functions, from storing metric
data in RRDs to sending notifications on state changes.
bolo2redis is a subscriber that lists for KEY data and forwards it onto
a Redis key-value store.
OPTIONS
-V, --version
Print version and copyright information.
-e, --endpoint *tcp://host:port*
The bolo broadcast endpoint. Defaults to *tcp://127.0.0.1:2997*.
Supports DNS resolution for both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints.
-H, --host *redis.fq.dn*
The hostname or IP address of the Redis server to submit key/value
data to. Defaults to *127.0.0.1*.
-P, --port *6379*
The TCP port that Redis is listening on. Defaults to *6379*, the
standard Redis port.
-F, --foreground
By default, bolo2redis will fork into the background, detach its
terminal and daemonize itself. This option inhibits that behavior,
and also stops its from setting the effective UID / GID (see -u and
-g).
-p, --pidfile */path/to/pidfile*
Specify where bolo2redis should write its PID to, for control by
init scripts. Defaults to /var/run/bolo2redis.pid. Has no effect if
-F is given.
-u, --user *USERNAME*
-g, --group *GROUP NAME*
User and group to drop privileges to. By default, bolo2redis will
run as root:root, which is probably not what you want.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose mode, printing debugging information to standard
error.
