COLLECTD-TG(1) collectd COLLECTD-TG(1)
NAME
collectd-tg - Traffic generator for collectd.
SYNOPSIS
collectd-tg -n num_vl -H num_hosts -p num_plugins -i interval -d dest
-D dport
DESCRIPTION
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.
ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS
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.
