vzlmond Configuration File

The /etc/vzlmond.conf file defines the configuration parameters for the vzlmond daemon used to periodically check and log the state of your server. The gathered logs can then be used by the vzstatrep utility to generate statistic reports and graphics on their basis and to send these reports and graphics to the server administrator's e-mail address(es). For more details on the vzstatrep utility, see vzstatrep .

The parameters in this file are presented on separate lines in the following format:

<parameter_name> =< parameter_value >

Parameters

Name	Description	Default Value
STATS_VMSTAT_PERIOD	The periodicity, in seconds, with which the `vmstat` utility is run on the server and its output is saved to log files in the directory specified as the value of the `LOGS_DIR` parameter. The `vmstat` output contains information on the server kernel threads, virtual memory, disks, traps, and CPU activity. For more information on `vmstat` , see its man pages.	480
STATS_FULLDUMP_PERIOD	The period, in seconds, at the end of which the complete statistics on the server resources consumption is gathered and logged to the directory specified as the value of the `LOGS_DIR` parameter. As distinct from the `vmstat` output, this statistics represents a snapshot of the files contents from the `/proc` directory on the server and contains information on virtually every server resource: the environment of a certain process, the state and configuration of the CPU(s), the number of I/O ports on the server and their configuration, etc. Keep in mind that the amount of disk space needed to store this information may be considerable (about 0.5 KB per Container). However, you are recommended to set the period to no more than 10 minutes to regularly check and log the current server state and resources consumption.	480
STATS_NET_PERIOD	The period, in seconds, after which the server network statistics is collected and logged to the directory specified as the value of the `LOGS_DIR` parameter. The network statistics is gathered separately for each network interface on the server (e.g., `eth0` , `eth1` ).	480
LOGS_DIR	The name of the directory on the server where the gathered statistics is to be stored.	`/var/log/vzstat`

All the aforementioned parameters are set to their default values during the Parallels Cloud Server installation; so, you do not have to additionally edit any parameter in the /etc/vzlmond.conf file to start gathering your server statistics.
