daemon options

The CLI command daemon provides the functionality to start/stop Icinga 2. Furthermore it provides the configuration validation.

-c, --config arg
Using this option you can specify one or more configuration files. Config files are processed in the order they are specified on the command-line.

When no configuration file is specified and the --no-config is not used, Icinga 2 automatically falls back to using the configuration file SysconfDir + /icinga2/icinga2.conf (where SysconfDir is usually /etc).

-z, --noconfig
Start without a configuration file.
-C, --validate
This option can be used to check if your configuration files contain errors. If any errors are found the exit status is 1, otherwise 0 is returned.
-e, --errorlog arg
Log fatal errors to the specified log file (only works in combination with --daemonize).
-d, --daemonize
Detach from the controlling terminal.
