Description |

|
|
----------- |

|
|
ihost is a host for the i-scream central monitoring system. It's task |
| 10 |
|
|
is to collect information about the machine it runs on and report it |
| 11 |
|
|
to the server for monitoring. It makes use of the external libstatgrab |
| 12 |
|
|
library for collecting this information. |

Building and Installation |
| 15 |
|
|
------------------------- |
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
After downloading and extracting ihost, configure and build as follows; |
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
./configure |
| 20 |
|
|
make |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
Then install as root; |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
make install |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
tdb |
1.2 |
You may wish to use one of the following configure options to change |
| 27 |
tdb |
1.1 |
aspects of this process; |
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
tdb |
1.3 |
--with-libstatgrab-prefix=PATH |
| 30 |
tdb |
1.1 |
--with-pid-file=FILE |
| 31 |
tdb |
1.3 |
--with-log-file=FILE |
| 32 |
tdb |
1.1 |
--with-max-udp-size=SIZE |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
tdb |
1.3 |
The first allows you to specify the prefix to the libstatgrab library |
| 35 |
|
|
if it's not in a standard place. The next two give you the option of |
| 36 |
|
|
changing the location of the PID file, and changing the location of the |
| 37 |
|
|
log file. The last option allows you to change the maximum size of the |
| 38 |
|
|
UDP packets ihost sends to the server, although you shouldn't need to |
| 39 |
|
|
change this in normal circumstances. |
| 40 |

1.1 |
|
| 41 |
|
|
There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options; |
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
--prefix=PREFIX |
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
For more documentation on the installation process, please read the |
| 46 |
|
|
INSTALL document. |

Running ihost |
| 49 |
|
|
------------- |
| 50 |
|
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
Running ihost with the -h flag will provide a list of options. You will |
| 52 |
|
|
need to know the address and port number of your i-scream server's filter |
| 53 |
|
|
manager. These details should be given on the command line to ihost. |
