DESCRIPTION

monclient is a generic command-line consumer client.

OPTIONS

[`-C file`] \| [`--config file`]	Use the specified configuration file instead of `@sysconfdir@/libmonp.conf`
[`-V`] \| [`--version`]	Print the version number and exit.
[`-a method`] \| [`--auth method`]	The authentication method to use. If not specified, the strongest method supported by both the producer and the consumer will be used.
[`-c count`] \| [`--count count`]	Receive number of values specified (default is 1) and then exit. If set to negative the program runs until stopped by pressing Ctrl-C (sending SIGINT).
[`-e expression`] \| [`-expr expression`]	Evaluate the expression on every data and print the result.
[`-f freq`] \| [`--frequency freq`]	Specify measurement frequency in seconds.
[`-h`] \| [`--help`]	Print a short help message on parameters and usage.
[`-n metric`] \| [`--name metric`]	Specify the metric name to be queried. This option is mandatory.
[`-o file`] \| [`--output file`]	Output file name to save data into.
[`-p name=value`] \| [`--param name=value`]	Specify metric parameters. Each occurance of this option adds a parameter to the list.
[`-r`] \| [`--raw`]	Output raw data. If given, the `-o` option must also be specified. This option cannot be used together with the `-e` option.
[`-t sec`] \| [`--timeout sec`]	Abort if a command does not complete within the specified time. If the value given is not positive, there will be no timeout (this is also the default).
[`-v`] \| [`--verbose`]	Verbose output, some additional control information is printed as well.
[`-w layer`] \| [`--wrap layer`]	Use the specified I/O layer.
`URL`	URL of the monitoring system to connect to.
