NAME

       pmdavmware - VMware performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdavmware is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from a (possibly remote) VMware virtualisation host.

       This implementation uses the VMare Perl API (refer to the online docs at http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit).  VIPerl is
       a prerequisite for this PMDA, it needs to be installed and configured before attempting to use this agent.  It is highly recommended that
       you test your VIPerl installation using the demo programs that are shipped with VIPerl, before attempting to use this PMDA.

INSTALLATION

       In order to access performance data using the VIPerl API, it is necessary to be able to login to the metrics source.  Hence, a valid VMware
       server name, user name and pass word are needed by the PMDA.  These can be passed in on the command line (via the pmcd.conf file) or via a
       vmware.conf file in the PMDA directory.

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # [ edit vmware.conf ]

       This file should contain three lines, such as:

	       $server = 'vm.server.net';
	       $username = 'XXXX';
	       $password  = 'YYYY';

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the vmware performance metrics by doing the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware
	       # ./Remove

       pmdavmware 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

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/vmware.conf
	   configuration file for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/Install
	   installation script for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/vmware/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdavmware agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/vmware.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdavmware

NAME

       pmdadbping - database response time and availability PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       Simple database response time measurement PMDA.	dbprobe.pl(1) should be configured to use the type of DBI appropriate for your database,
       which includes: RDBMS flavour, user/password, delay between "ping" requests, and the SQL statement to use.  pmdadbping runs dbprobe.pl(1),
       and exports the performance measurements it makes available as PCP metrics.

INSTALLATION

       Configure dbprobe.pl(1) - it uses a configuration file from (in this order):

       o   /etc/pcpdbi.conf

       o   $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping/dbprobe.conf

       This file can contain overridden values (Perl code) for the settings listed at the start of dbprobe.pl, namely:

       o   database name (see DBI(3) for details)

       o   database user name

       o   database pass word

       o   SQL statement to measure (probe)

       o   delay between probes

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the dbping performance metrics by doing the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping
	       # ./Remove

       pmdadbping 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

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping/probes.stp
	   probe configuration file for stap(1), run by pmdadbping

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping/Install
	   installation script for the pmdadbping agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/dbping/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdadbping agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/dbping.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdadbping
