PMDANAMED(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDANAMED(1)
NAME
pmdanamed - BIND (named) PMDA
DESCRIPTION
pmdanamed is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the BIND DNS server. Further details on BIND can
be found at http://isc.org/.
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names and values for the named performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named
# ./Remove
pmdanamed 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.
