+TRACE-CMD-AGENT(1)
+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+trace-cmd-agent - Run as an agent on a machine (to be controlled by another machine)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*trace-cmd agent* ['OPTIONS']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The trace-cmd(1) agent listens over a vsocket (for virtual machines) or a TCP port
+for connections to control the tracing of the machine. The agent will then start
+tracing on the local machine and pass the data to the controlling connection.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-N* 'client'::
+ Listen over TCP instead of a vsocket. Must pass in a client host name or IP address
+ to allow connection to. It will only connect to the specified client. Note, any process
+ on that client can control the agent.
+
+ *This is a very insecure setting. Only use on a trusted network*
+ *Only use if the client machine is totally trusted*
+
+*-p* 'port'::
+ This option will specify the port to listen to.
+
+*-D*::
+ This options causes trace-cmd agent to go into a daemon mode and run in
+ the background.
+
+*--verbose*[='level']::
+ Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none", "critical", "error", "warning",
+ "info", "debug", "all" or their identifiers "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting the log
+ level to specific value enables all logs from that and all previous levels.
+ The level will default to "info" if one is not specified.
+
+ Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs
+
+ trace-cmd listen --verbose=warning
