# kanla(1p)

small-scale alerting daemon

## NAME

kanla - small-scale alerting daemon

## SYNOPSIS

```
    kanla [--configfile=path]
```

## DESCRIPTION

kanla is a daemon which peridiocally checks whether your website, mail server, etc. are still up and running.

In case a health check fails, kanla will notify you via jabber (XMPP).

Focus of kanla lies on being light-weight, being simple, using a sane configuration file, being well-documented.

## OPTIONS

- **--configfile=path**

  Use path instead of /etc/kanla/default.cfg as configuration file.

## DOCUMENTATION

kanla's documentation can be found at http://kanla.zekjur.net/docs/

We have decided to use asciidoc for kanla, and to not maintain both POD and asciidoc, the POD documentation is intentionally sparse.

## VERSION

Version 1.5
