While host, plugin 14and values are generated randomly, the generated traffic tries to mimic "real" 15traffic as closely as possible. 16 17=head1 ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS 18 19The following options are understood by I<collectd-tg>. The order of the 20arguments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is passed more than 21once. 22 23=over 4 24 25=item B<-n> I<num_vl> 26 27Sets the number of unique I<value lists> (VL) to generate. Defaults to 10000. 28 29=item B<-H> I<num_hosts> 30 31Sets the number of unique hosts to simulate. Defaults to 1000. 32 33=item B<-p> I<num_plugins> 34 35Sets the number of unique plugins to simulate. Defaults to 20. 36 37=item B<-i> I<interval> 38 39Sets the interval in which each I<value list> is dispatched. Defaults to 10.0 40seconds. 41 42=item B<-d> I<dest> 43 44Sets the destination to which to send the generated network traffic. Defaults 45to the IPv6 multicast address, C<ff18::efc0:4a42>. 46 47=item B<-D> I<dport> 48 49Sets the destination port or service to which to send the generated network 50traffic. Defaults to I<collectd's> default port, C<25826>. 51 52=item B<-h> 53 54Print usage summary. 55 56=back 57 58=head1 SEE ALSO 59 60L<collectd(1)>, 61L<collectd.conf(5)> 62 63=head1 AUTHOR 64 65Florian Forster E<lt>octoE<nbsp>atE<nbsp>collectd.orgE<gt> 66 67=cut 68
