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.
