Usage¶
arsenal-director¶
Arsenal is invoked by running:
arsenal-director
With various arguments. All of arsenal-director
‘s supported arguments are
documented on the command line. Run:
arsenal-director --help
To see them, and a brief explanation on each one.
A reasonable invocation for actual use looks something like:
arsenal-director --config-file /etc/arsenal/arsenal.conf --log-file /car/log/arsenal/arsenal-director.log
Which would start arsenal-director
, and it would try to load the
configuration file found at /etc/arsenal/arsenal.conf
while logging to
/var/log/arsenal/arsenal-director.log
.
arsenal-director
will periodically gather data using the configured
Scout object, and issuing directives returned by the configured
Strategy object. arsenal-director
will continue in this way
indefinitely, only stopping through program termination.
Important
It’s a good idea to set the dry_run option to
True
in order to prevent arsenal-director
from issuing directives
until you are confident that all the configuration settings appear to be
correct, and the directives emitted by the configured Strategy are
consistent with expected behavior.
