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 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). Detailed information on the vzstatrep utility is provided in the vzstatrep subsection .

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

<parameter_name> =< parameter_value >

The table below describes these 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 Server Bare Metal installation; so, you do not have to additionally edit any parameter in the /etc/vzlmond.conf file to start gathering your server statistics.
