💖 REPOSCTL 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for reposctl, a section 8 (system administration) joint, straight outta the Linux Programmers Manual. pull up a chair, we're doing Unix today 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

reposctl — control utility for reposd

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

reposctl

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so reposctl is a simple shell program for controlling reposd(8), which is the metric repository daemon. that's the whole vibe. it gives you the power to manipulate the state of the daemon, plus online loading and unloading of metric repository plugins. no restart required, we love a hot-swap moment 💅

👑 COMMANDS 👑

here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, every single one:

  • h — print help message. the classic "what do i do" button.
  • s — print status of daemon. vibe check on your daemon fr.
  • i — initialize repository service. wake it up bestie ✨
  • t — terminate repository service. bye bye 🫶
  • l pluginlib — load plugin library. new plugin, who dis
  • u pluginlib — unload plugin library. it's giving departure 😭
  • v pluginlib — view/list metrics supported by plugin library. show me what you got
  • q — quit/exit control utility. the exit door, iconic.
  • g id — retrieve values for given metric id. gimme the numbers 💜
  • f id num — retrieve filtered (top-n, sorted) values for given metric id. top-n, sorted, filtered — she's high maintenance and i respect it 🔥
  • r id — list system and type of resource for given metrid id. (yes it says metrid, we don't ask questions, we just report 🎀)
  • G — list current global metric filter. capital G energy 👑
  • F num — set the global metric filter. now you set the rules.
  • k — kill gathering daemon. lowkey violent but okay 💀
  • d — start gathering daemon. and we're back 🦋

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /etc/reposd.conf — this file contains the daemon configuration settings. see reposd.conf(5) for more information. that's the lore file, go read it 📖
