Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can NetLoadD Monitor Multiple Interfaces?
Yes, you can simply run multiple instantiations of netloadd
for the various interfaces eg:
$ netloadd +file ppp0 &
$ netloadd +file eth0 &
2. Can I direct the +file output elsewhere?
As of version 1.5.1, no. The filewrite function in netloadd.cpp
is a bit of a bodge and version 2.0 will use the netloadd_analysis
engine for all analysis on the held list of transfers. This will
allow various different files. Until then: DO NOT RUN MULTIPLE
COPIES on the same DEVICE with +file
3. Can I change the default settings?
Yes - at compile time to actually set default (see the
INSTALL document) or by utilising command line switches
with optional configuration files. See the CONFIG howto
for more information on config files or the USAGE document
for a full description of command-line switches.
4. Can NetLoadD output to a database?
Yes - MySQL. Versions 1.4 and later have fairly stable
MySQL support optionally compiled in (by default it is).
Please see the MYSQL document for more information on
using netloadd with MySQL.
5. Can I alter the delay time for netloadd?
Yes - use the d flag on the command line or in the [main]
section of your config file with a non-whitespaced integer
parameter of seconds eg:
$ netloadd d60 eth0
Would start netloadd with a delay of 60 seconds.
