NAME

       vzstats - report OpenVZ usage statistics

SYNOPSIS

       vzstats
       vzstats --view|--status
       vzstats --enable|--disable
       vzstats --help

DESCRIPTION

       Utility  vzstats, installed on an OpenVZ server, periodically collects some usage statistics and sends it
       to the OpenVZ stats server, http://stats.openvz.org, for processing and analysis.  Aggregated  statistics
       from all reports are available through the web interface.

       Statistics  reported  include some basic hardware information (CPU, RAM, file system and disk space usage
       for /vz), software information (distribution version, kernel version, OpenVZ software versions), and some
       OpenVZ-specific information (number of containers running/total, number of  containers  using  vswap  and
       ploop,  used  OS  templates  etc.).  Information submission is anonymous; information that can be used to
       directly identify a particular host (i.e. MAC or IP addresses, hostnames etc.) is not being reported.

       For the server to anonymously identify reports from the same client, a unique  random  ID  (UUID  v4)  is
       requested  from  the  server during the first vzstats run. It is then saved locally and used when sending
       reports.

       If run without any options and unless disabled, vzstats runs report scripts found in REPDIR  (defined  in
       vzstats.conf,  default  is  /usr/lib/vzstats), collects their output and sends it, as a tarball, to stats
       server.

OPTIONS

       In case any option is provided, no report is being send, instead an  action  denoted  by  the  option  is
       performed.

       The following options are supported:

       --view Collect  but  do  not send report, giving a user an ability to see what exact information would be
              send.

       --config
              Output current vzstats configuration, including:
              • current version number;
              • status (enabled or disabled);
              • an URL used to submit reports to;
              • vzstats UUID;
              • report scripts directory.

       --disable
              Disable reporting. This is performed by creating a marker file, /etc/vz/vzstats-disable.   vzstats
              checks this file upon start, and exits if it is present.

       --enable
              Re-enable reporting.

       --help Show usage.
