pscollect — the ParaStation GridMonitor data collecting process.
pscollect [-vlevel] [-d] [-l] [-f filename] [-c command] [-p portno] [-h hostname] [-t sec] [-?]
After reading the configuration file, pscollect starts an agent on every configured node. Upon request of a client, pscollect retrieves data from one or more agent(s) or the database and returns it to the client. Data may also be read periodically by the pscollect.
Any data read from an agent may also be stored in the database, depending on the configuration, by adding time stamps. It will be cached within pscollect, too, depending on the parameter. In addition, parameters may be monitored against minimum or maximum limits.
New values may be calculated, based on values of parameters read from agents.
