pmdalio - Linux LIO subsystem PMDA
pmdalio is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values about the Linux I/O target subsystem, which provides
for protocols like iSCSI, FCP, FCoE. These allow storage available
on one host to be exported and consumed by other hosts using industry
standard protocols.
This PMDA exports summary metrics which are performance value
aggregations and configuration per LIO target instance. Additional,
it provides per LUN performance metrics including IOPS, and READ and
WRITE throughput.
The LIO configuration is maintained within the kernel's configfs
virtual filesystem. The python-rtslib module provides an interface
to configfs, allowing tools like pmdalio to interact with the
settings and metadata held in configfs.
Install the lio PMDA by using the Install script as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lio
# ./Install
To uninstall, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lio
# ./Remove
pmdalio 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/lio/Install
installation script for the pmdalio agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lio/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdalio agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/lio.log
default log file for error messages from pmdalio
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), pminfo(1) and pmpython(1).
