+NAME
+----
+sysdbd - system management and inventory collection service
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*sysdbd* ['options']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*sysdbd* is a multi-backend system management and inventory collection daemon.
+It may be used to (continuously) collect information from various backends
+(e.g., inventory services, monitoring services, configuration services) and
+provides a uniform combined view of all data.
+
+The main daemon itself is the central instance managing all collected
+information and doing the correlation of objects provided by different
+backends. It basically acts as a database server. All data retrieval, any
+further processing, storing and exporting of data is done by plugins.
