dminit --type type --database file [--force] [--sync] [--transfer] [--wal]

The dminit utility program creates beat, image, log, and observation databases. No action is performed if the specified database already exists, unless command-line argument --force is passed.

A synchronisation table is required for observation and log synchronisation with an RPC server. The argument may be omitted if this functionality is not used.

Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) should be enabled for databases with multiple readers.

--force, -F

--sync, -s

--type, -t [beat|image|log|observ]
