Ich werde immer mal wieder gefragt welche Parameter bei der Verwendung von BRICK zur Verfügung stehen. Wenn man brick --help ausführt, dann wird eine Liste der verfügbaren Parameter und deren Beschreibung angezeigt. Nachfolgend sind die Beschreibungen nochmals aufgeführt (in Englisch).

• --full, -f –> runs all checks – recommend for maximum 75 server in cell (includes check of the internal database and reports for the last 7 days, …)
• --reduced, -r –> runs reduced checks – recommended for larger cell (no check of the internal database, reports for the last 2 days, …)
• --long, -l –> runs additional IDB checks – not recommended for larger cells as runtime of script will increase. Use this mode in smaller environments or when requested.
• --config, -c –> „config file“, example: -c=c:\temp\brick.conf Runs the checks configured in the config file only. Use “ to quote directories with spaces in Windows.
