Synopsis

dlt-daemon [-h] [-d] [-c filename] [-t directory] [-p port] [-a filename]

Description

The DLT daemon is the central place where logs and traces are gathered from different applications, stored temporarily or permanently and transferred to a DLT client application, which can run directly on the COVESA system or more likely on a external tester device.

Port to monitor for incoming requests (Default: 3490) Applications wanting to connect to a daemon using a custom port need to be started with the environment variable DLT_DAEMON_TCP_PORT set appropriately.

-a

Load an alternative configuration for app id log level defaults. By default, the configuration file /etc/dlt-log-levels.conf is loaded.

Examples

Start DLT daemon in background mode: dlt-daemon -d
