💖 DRBDMON 💖 — the drbdmon manual, section 8, iykyk

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about the little live-monitoring cutie that lives in your System Administration toolbox 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drbdmon — watch your DRBD resources in realtime, no cap 👀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

drbdmon [options...] [-- [backend-options...]] {command} {context...}

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so, drbdmon is the utility you use to monitor volumes and connections in realtime, exactly as they're defined in your DRBD resource files. literally live, literally as-you-go. 🦋

for the deets on those resource files, go peek at drbd.conf(5) — she explains everything.

---

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

• -d, --dry-run — shows you which commands drbdmon would execute instead of actually executing them. think of it like a dress rehearsal, no consequences ✨. example: drbdmon -d up resource. this is lowkey a great way to learn how drbdsetup and drbdmeta get used, fr fr.
• --ascii — use only ascii characters (no Unicode). for when your terminal is giving minimal-effort and can't handle the ✨aesthetic✨.
• --no-header — do not display the drbdmon header line.
• --no-hotkeys — do not display the hotkeys line.

---

👑 COMMANDS 👑

• c {device} — clear screen. fresh start, main character energy 💅
• r — repaint display.
• q — quit. (sad, but valid 🥲)
