3 collectd-tg - Traffic generator for collectd.
7 collectd-tg B<-n> I<num_vl> B<-H> I<num_hosts> B<-p> I<num_plugins> B<-i> I<interval> B<-d> I<dest> B<-D> I<dport>
11 B<collectd-tg> generates bogus I<collectd> network traffic. While host, plugin
12 and values are generated randomly, the generated traffic tries to mimic "real"
13 traffic as closely as possible.
15 =head1 ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS
17 The following options are understood by I<collectd-tg>. The order of the
18 arguments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is passed more than
25 Sets the number of unique I<value lists> (VL) to generate. Defaults to 10000.
27 =item B<-H> I<num_hosts>
29 Sets the number of unique hosts to simulate. Defaults to 1000.
31 =item B<-p> I<num_plugins>
33 Sets the number of unique plugins to simulate. Defaults to 20.
35 =item B<-i> I<interval>
37 Sets the interval in which each I<value list> is dispatched. Defaults to 10.0
42 Sets the destination to which to send the generated network traffic. Defaults
43 to the IPv6 multicast address, C<ff18::efc0:4a42>.
47 Sets the destination port or service to which to send the generated network
48 traffic. Defaults to I<collectd's> default port, C<25826>.
