NAME
       gatherd - SBLIM metric collection daemon

SYNOPSIS
       gatherd [argument]

DESCRIPTION
       The gatherd program is a system daemon that collects performance
       metrics for various components via a set of metric plugins. Raw metric
       data is forwarded to a seperate repository daemon that is located
       either locally or remotely (see reposd(8)). The repository destination,
       location of plugin directory, and other controllable configuration
       options are described in the configuration file man page (see
       gatherd.conf(5)).

       The gatherd daemon can be controlled at runtime by way of the
       gatherctl(8) command. This provides the ability to load and unload
       metric plugins online without the need to restart gatherd.

       The primary goal of the the sblim-gather package is to implement the
       DMTF's Base Metric Model (DSP1053). While, gatherd, reposd(8), and
       their plugins can be used standalone, the greatest benefit comes from
       using their CIM provider layer in conjuction with a CIM Object Manager
       (see cimserver(1)). For more information about CIM and the Base Metric
       Model refer to the Distrubuted Management Task Force (DMTF) at
       http://www.dmtf.org.

OPTIONS
       argument
	   gatherd daemonizes by default. Passing any value on the command
	   line will cause it to run in the terminal.

FILES
       /etc/gatherd.conf
	   This file contains the daemon configuration settings. See
	   gatherd.conf(5) for more information.
