pmdakvm - Linux virtualization performance metrics domain agent
(PMDA)
pmdakvm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values from the Linux KVM virtualisation subsystem.
Unlike many PMDAs it dynamically enumerates its metric hierarchy,
based entirely on the contents of /sys/kernel/debug/kvm.
Install the kvm PMDA by using the Install script as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
# ./Install
To uninstall, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
# ./Remove
pmdakvm 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.
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm/Install
installation script for the pmdakvm agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdakvm agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/kvm.log
default log file for error messages from pmdakvm
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).
