# rasdaemon(1)

RAS daemon to log the RAS events.

## NAME

rasdaemon - RAS daemon to log the RAS events.

## SYNOPSIS

**rasdaemon** \[*OPTION*\]...

## DESCRIPTION

The **rasdaemon** program is a daemon which monitors the platform Reliablity, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) reports from the Linux kernel trace events. These trace events are logged in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, reporting them via syslog/journald.

## OPTIONS

- **--usage**

  Display a brief usage message and exit.

- **--help**

  Display a help message and exit.

- **--disable**

  Disable RAS tracing events and exit.

- **--enable**

  Enable RAS tracing events and exit.

- **--foreground**

  Executes in foreground, printing the events at console. Useful for testing it, and to be used by systemd or Unix System V respan. If not specified, the program runs in daemon mode.

- **--record**

  Record RAS events via Sqlite3. The Sqlite3 database has the benefit of keeping a persistent record of the RAS events. This feature is used with the ras-mc-ctl utility. Note that rasdaemon may be compiled without this feature.

- **--version**

  Print the program version and exit.

## CONFIG FILE

The **rasdaemon** program supports a config file to set rasdaemon systemd service environment variables. By default the config file is read from /etc/sysconfig/rasdaemon.

The general format is environmentname=value.
