--debug

Log more information into the logfile.

--log

points to the logfile that should be used. The daemons init scripts use /var/log/tideways/daemon.log by default.

--dryrun

Dry run mode not sending the data, for example to log which data will be sending.

--log-outgoing

Can be used to check what data is sent to Tideways if you want to control the privacy settings. Payload is logged into the daemon’s logfile (See --log flag).

--env

Toggles the environment this server is automatically registered in when first connecting to the Profiler. Defaults to "production". You can alternatively use the TIDEWAYS_ENVIRONMENT environment variable.

--insecure

--server-cert

Manually provide public part of the server’s certificate. Only to be used in combination with collection proxies.

If outgoing traffic requires a proxy, use this flag to pass a host:port combination pointing to the proxy. Using proxy with authentication add`user:pass` in the URL, for example --proxy=http://user:[email protected]:port.

--disable-server-metrics

disables the collection of Load, CPU, Memory, Network and disk metrics that are stored on each trace.

--statsd
