sysdb(7) ======== :doctype: manpage NAME ---- sysdb - the System DataBase (SysDB) SYNOPSIS -------- sysdbd -C /path/to/sysdbd.conf sysdb -H /path/to/sysdbd.sock DESCRIPTION ----------- include::sysdb-description.txt[] SysDB is made up of several components: sysdbd ~~~~~~ The SysDB daemon acts as the data collection instance and database server. It collects system and inventory information from the backends and aggregates objects retrieved from different backends based on their attributes. This way, it creates a uniform hierarchy of the entire infrastructure. For details about the SysDB daemon, see its manual page manpage:sysdbd[1]. sysdb ~~~~~ The SysDB client is a terminal-based, interactive shell which may be used to query the SysDB daemon. It connects to a running daemon and then accepts commands from the user, sends them to the server, and displays the results. For details about the SysDB client, see its manual page manpage:sysdb[1]. For details about how to query the database, see the specification of the SysDB query language in manpage:sysdbql[7].
