NAME¶

cricket - A program to manage the collection and display of time-series data

SYNOPSIS¶

cricket-compile
/usr/share/cricket/collector
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/cricket/grapher.cgi

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the programs associated with Cricket.

cricket-compile

The cricket-compile program compiles the Cricket config tree (found in /etc/cricket) into the format read by the collector. It is normally run after editing the files in the config tree. No options are needed.

collector

The collector program reads a Cricket configuration from /etc/cricket, compiled by the cricket-compile command, and collects and stores data according to the information found there. It is normally run periodically from a cron(8) job.

grapher.cgi

grapher.cgi is a CGI program to display the data collected by Cricket in a graphical format. It is usually accessed using a web browser, e.g. using the URL http://localhost/cgi-bin/cricket/grapher.cgi. It will allow you to navigate around all of the targets in the config tree.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.

SEE ALSO¶

The programs are documented fully by various HTML documents available via the help system, or directly in /usr/share/doc/cricket.
dhelp(1), dwww(1), cron(8)
