✨ TORRUS_MONITOR(8) — the torrus manual, section 8 bestie 💖

okay so you found your way into the torrus section 8 man pages and the one you're staring at rn is TORRUS_MONITOR 🎀 she's the monitor process, she's the girl who watches everything, and she's about to be your new obsession.

🌸 NAME 🌸

monitor — Torrus Monitor. that's it, that's her. the watcher. the one who never blinks. 👀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

torrus monitor --tree=TREENAME [options...]

like. literally that's the whole vibe. give her a tree, she'll give you the watch. 🌳

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So bestie, here's the tea ☕: this command starts the Monitor process for the tree called TREENAME.

By default it forks into a daemon and then just... sleeps 😴 until the next cycle in its schedule. main character energy fr — she does her thing in the background, no drama, no spotlight, just vibes.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every flag, every one, no skips, no cap:

  • --nodaemon — stops the process from becoming a daemon, and sets the log to STDERR. so she stays in the foreground and yells directly at you instead of whispering into a log file 🗣️
  • --runonce — tells the script to run once and then dip 👋. also implies --nodaemon, so you get both behaviors, package deal.
  • --delay=N — makes the daemon sleep for N minutes before starting the first cycle 🛌. this happens on daemon startup and after each configuration recompilation. why tho? because when monitor and collector start at the same time, the collector needs a lil minute to go retrieve the data that's being monitored. give her a sec, she's getting ready 💄
  • --debug — sets the log level to debug. full transparency, all the details, she's telling you everything 🔍
  • --verbose — sets the debug level to info. slightly less chatter, still very much talking to you 💬
  • --help — displays a help message. the classic. the icon. always there for you 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/torrus/conf/torrus-siteconfig.pl — the Torrus site configuration script. this is the file, this is where the site-level config lives, protect it with your life ✨
