GMETAD.PY(1)

💖 GMETAD.PY 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for gmetad.py — it's the Ganglia Meta Daemon in Python, and yes it's giving main character energy in the Ganglia universe. this page lives in section 1 (User Commands) of your friendly neighbourhood manual, so like… general commands, yk? 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gmetad.py - Ganglia Meta Daemon in Python 🌸

the way that this is literally just a Python glow-up of the meta daemon, and we're obsessed.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gmetad.py [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you hand it some options, it does its thing. periodt. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single flag, no gatekeeping, fr fr:

• --version — shows you the program's version number and then dips (exits). iconic behaviour honestly. ✨
• -h, --help — pops up this very help message and bounces. your girl always comes through with the answers. 🫶
• -d DEBUG, --debug=DEBUG — sets the debug level, aka how chatty it's gonna be. heads up though: if you set it to five (5) or greater, the daemon stays in the foreground instead of yeeting itself into the background. values are:
  • 0 - FATAL 💀
  • 1 - CRITICAL 😭
  • 2 - ERROR (default) 🙈
  • 3 - WARNING ⚠️
  • 4 - INFO 💬
  • 5 - DEBUG 🔍
• -p PID_FILE, --pid_file=PID_FILE — writes the process-id into a file. so it can be like "yes bestie, this is me, this is my number". 📝
• -c CONF, --conf=CONF — tells it where the gmetad configuration file is chillin'. default is '/etc/ganglia/gmetad-python.conf' — that's the home base unless you say otherwise. 🏡
• -l LOGFILE, --logfile=LOGFILE — logs messages to this path in addition to syslog, and ngl it overrides the configuration. so like, the command line wins here, no cap. 🔥
• -i INTERACTIVE_PORT, --interactive_port=INTERACTIVE_PORT — the interactive port to listen on. default is 8652. she's listening, she's always listening. 👂
• -x XML_PORT, --xml_port=XML_PORT — the XML port to listen on. default is 8651. the other iconic number, holding her own. ⭐

reminder bestie: the defaults are defaults — the config file and the command line can change your whole life, so read before you type. 💜

and that's the whole page, mwah. this absolute baddie of a manual page is gmetad.py, dated January 2011 — yes, a vintage queen, she was iconic before it was cool. manual name: GMETAD.PY(1). k byeeee, go daemon responsibly 💖🌸🦋✨
