Description |
| 7 |
----------- |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
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. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Building and Installation |
| 15 |
------------------------- |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
First download and install libstatgrab and libukcprog. These two |
| 18 |
libraries are used by ihost, and other i-scream packages. They should |
| 19 |
be available from the same place as ihost. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
After downloading and extracting ihost, configure and build as follows; |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
./configure |
| 24 |
make |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Then install as root; |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
make install |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
You may wish to use one of the following configure options to change |
| 31 |
aspects of this process; |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
--with-libstatgrab-prefix=PATH |
| 34 |
--with-libukcprog-prefix=PATH |
| 35 |
--with-pid-file=FILE |
| 36 |
--with-log-file=FILE |
| 37 |
--with-max-udp-size=SIZE |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The first two allow you to specify the prefix to the libstatgrab and |
| 40 |
libukcprog libraries if they're not in a standard place. The next two |
| 41 |
give you the option of changing the location of the PID file, and |
| 42 |
changing the location of the log file. The last option allows you to |
| 43 |
change the maximum size of the UDP packets ihost sends to the server, |
| 44 |
although you shouldn't need to change this in normal circumstances. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options; |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
--prefix=PREFIX |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
For more documentation on the installation process, please read the |
| 51 |
INSTALL document. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Running ihost |
| 54 |
------------- |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Running ihost with the -h flag will provide a list of options. You will |
| 57 |
need to know the address and port number of your i-scream server's filter |
| 58 |
manager. These details should be given on the command line to ihost. |
| 59 |
