NAME         top

       pmdanutcracker - NutCracker performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION         top

       This PMDA extracts performance data from NutCracker (or TwemProxy), a
       fast and lightweight proxy for memcached and Redis protocol.

INSTALLATION         top

       Configure to export statistics via its stats interface (see --stats-
       port option to the nutcracker server).  The corresponding
       configuration must be reflected in the
       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/nutcracker.conf file.
             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
             # [ edit nutcracker.conf ]
       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the
       nutcracker performance metrics by doing the following as root:
             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
             # ./Install
       To uninstall, do the following as root:
             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
             # ./Remove
       pmdanutcracker is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed
       directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the
       agent is installed or removed.

FILES         top

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/nutcracker.conf
           mandatory configuration file listing monitored memcache or Redis
           instances

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       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).
