9 collectd-tg B<-n> I<num_vl> B<-H> I<num_hosts> B<-p> I<num_plugins> B<-i> I<interval> B<-d> I<dest> B<-D> I<dport>
13 B<collectd-tg> generates bogus I<collectd> network traffic. While host, plugin
14 and values are generated randomly, the generated traffic tries to mimic "real"
15 traffic as closely as possible.
17 =head1 ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS
19 The following options are understood by I<collectd-tg>. The order of the
20 arguments generally doesn't matter, as long as no argument is passed more than
27 Sets the number of unique I<value lists> (VL) to generate. Defaults to 10000.
29 =item B<-H> I<num_hosts>
31 Sets the number of unique hosts to simulate. Defaults to 1000.
33 =item B<-p> I<num_plugins>
35 Sets the number of unique plugins to simulate. Defaults to 20.
37 =item B<-i> I<interval>
39 Sets the interval in which each I<value list> is dispatched. Defaults to 10.0
44 Sets the destination to which to send the generated network traffic. Defaults
45 to the IPv6 multicast address, C<ff18::efc0:4a42>.
49 Sets the destination port or service to which to send the generated network
50 traffic. Defaults to I<collectd's> default port, C<25826>.
