The raxmon command line interface lets you
interact with the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring API in a quick and efficient
manner. If you're not a programmer, we suggest using
raxmon to become familiar with the product
and its capabilities. Even if have programming experience,
you might like the speed at which you can set up monitors
using raxmon.
See Section 2.1, “Install and Configure raxmon” to get started.
Once you have installed raxmon, type the
following command in a terminal or command window to see a
list of the available raxmon commands:
raxmon --help or raxmon
--h
To get help for a particular command, type:
raxmon-command-name --help or
raxmon-command-name --h
For example, you can see a brief description of each option you would use to create an entity in the monitoring system by typing the following command:
raxmon-entities-create --h
