### Description
repeat allows you to define a set of linux commands that needs to be run with a given periodicity and gather the output of those commands into a compressed tarball report for further analysis.
```yaml
usage: repeat --config=CONFIG [<flags>]
Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
-l, --loglevel="info" Log level: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal]
-t, --timeout=0s Timeout: overall timeout for all collectors
-c, --config=CONFIG Path to collectors configuration file
-b, --basedir="/tmp" Temporary base directory to create the resulting collection tarball
-r, --results-dir="." Directory to store the resulting collection tarball
``` #### Example configuration
```yaml
collections: lsof: command: lsof -i # command to run run-every: 10s # periodicity exit-codes: 0 # allowed exit codes (space separed list of accepted exit codes) timeout: 30s # define a per command timeout
sockstat:
command: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp*mem /proc/net/sockstat
run-every: 2s
exit-codes: any
sar:
run-once: true #it can be run a single time
exit-codes: 0 127 126
script: | # a script can be given instead of a command.
#!/bin/bash
sar -n EDEV && true
uname:
run-once: true
script: |
netstat -atn
```
#### Running with configuration
An example of running the collection for 5s (could be expressed in s,m,hours)
```yaml
repeat --config metrics.yaml --timeout=5s --results-dir=.
