By default, {beatname_uc} sends all its output to syslog. When you run {beatname_uc} in
|
|
the foreground, you can use the `-e` command line flag to redirect the output to
|
|
standard error instead. For example:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
{beatname_lc} -e
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file is {beatname_lc}.yml (the location of the file varies by
|
|
platform). You can use a different configuration file by specifying the `-c` flag. For example:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
{beatname_lc} -e -c my{beatname_lc}config.yml
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can increase the verbosity of debug messages by enabling one or more debug
|
|
selectors. For example, to view the published transactions, you can start {beatname_uc}
|
|
with the `publish` selector like this:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
{beatname_lc} -e -d "publish"
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want all the debugging output (fair warning, it's quite a lot), you can
|
|
use `*`, like this:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
{beatname_lc} -e -d "*"
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
