 Optionally, more functionality can be enabled if your build machine has

 ganeti-mond - Ganeti monitoring daemon
 
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+**ganeti-mond** [-d] [-f] [--no-user-checks] [-p PORT]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+**ganeti-mond** is the daemon providing the Ganeti monitoring
+functionality. It is responsible for running the data collectors and to
+provide the collected information through a HTTP interface.
+
+For testing purposes, you can give the ``-f`` option and the
+program won't detach from the running terminal.
+
+Debug-level message can be activated by giving the ``-d`` option.
+
+The **ganeti-mond** daemon listens to port 1815 TCP, on all interfaces,
+by default. The port can be overridden by an entry the services database
+by passing the ``-p`` option.
+The daemon will refuse to start if the user and group do not match the
+one defined at build time; this behaviour can be overridden by the
+``--no-user-checks`` option.
+
+COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The queries to the monitoring agent will be HTTP GET requests on port 1815.
+The answer will be encoded in JSON format and will depend on the specific
+accessed resource.
+
+If a request is sent to a non-existing resource, a 404 error will be returned by
+the HTTP server.
+
+``/``
++++++
+The root resource. It will return the list of the supported protocol version
+numbers.
+
+``/1/list/collectors``
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+Returns a list of tuples (kind, category, name) showing all the collectors
+available in the system.
+
+``/1/report/all``
++++++++++++++++++
+A list of the reports of all the data collectors, as described in the section
+`Format of the report`_.
+
+`Status reporting collectors`_ will provide their output in non-verbose format.
+The verbose format can be requested by adding the parameter ``verbose=1`` to the
+request.
+
+``/1/report/[category]/[collector_name]``
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Returns the report of the collector ``[collector_name]`` that belongs to the
+specified ``[category]``.
+
+If a collector does not belong to any category, ``collector`` will be used as
+the value for ``[category]``.
+
+`Status reporting collectors`_ will provide their output in non-verbose format.
+The verbose format can be requested by adding the parameter ``verbose=1`` to the
+request.
+
+Further information can be found in the Ganeti Monitoring Agent
+design document.
