pmdagfs2 - Global Filesystem v2 (GFS2) PMDA
pmdagfs2 is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values about mounted GFS2 filesystems from the debugfs
filesystem. This PMDA requires debugfs along with at least one
mounted GFS2 filesystem to be mounted in order to be able to provide
metric data.
This PMDA can be used with GFS2 filesystems which are both mounted as
local filesystems and filesystems which are mounted as shared
storage within a clustered environment. However there are some
metrics which specifically require GFS2 to be setup in a clustered
environment to be able to provide metric data. This is due to them
expecting locking messages to be passed via the distributed lock
manager (DLM) between nodes of a cluster in order to generate their
output.
These cluster-environment-only metrics can be distinguished by the
inclusion of their corresponding control metrics so that they can be
optionally enabled or disabled on systems where they are not desired
to be monitored or not supported.
pmstore(3) can be used to assign values to these control metrics in
order to enable (1) or disable (0) them. This mechanism is also
useful on distributions that do not currently have full support for
the GFS2 trace-points or provide older versions of the GFS2 driver.

Install the GFS2 PMDA by using the Install script as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2
# ./Install
To uninstall, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2
# ./Remove
pmdagfs2 is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed
directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd when the agent
is installed or removed.
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2/help
default help text file for the GFS2 metrics
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2/Install
installation script for the pmdagfs2 agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdagfs2 agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/gfs2.log
default log file for error messages from pmdagfs2
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize
the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the
file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.
The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative
configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
pmcd(1), pmstore(1), and gfs2(5).
