Configuration

Going beyond the defaults

What??? You said zero-config!

Yes by default, there is no configuration. However one may tweak a little bit the agent so as to fulfil some specific needs.

Scans

You can configure the number of scans to perform and the waiting time between two scans using the following options:

  • --scans value: Number of scans to perform (default: 1)
  • --period value: Waiting time between two scans (default: 1m0s)

Disabling modules

All the module can be disabled through the following pattern --no-module-<module-name> (see the list of available modules)

Note

As some modules may depend on others, disabling a module may lead to a cascasding effect. To force modules that depend on it to run, you must pass the --skip-missing-deps flag.

situation --stdout --no-module-ping --skip-missing-deps

Module configuration

Some modules may expose specific option through flags. Do not hesitate to look at them in the help. For example:

situation --stdout --snmp-community=local
