NAME
pmdagfs2 - Global Filesystem v2 (GFS2) PMDA DESCRIPTION
pmdagfs2 is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values about mounted GFS2 filesystems from the debugfs filesys- tem. This PMDA requires debugfs along with at least one mounted GFS2 filesystem to be mounted in order to be able to provide metric data. This PMDA can be used with GFS2 filesystems which are both mounted as local filesystems and filesystems which are mounted as shared stor- age within a clustered environment. However there are some metrics which specifically require GFS2 to be setup in a clustered environment to be able to provide metric data. This is due to them expecting locking messages to be passed via the distributed lock manager (DLM) between nodes of a cluster in order to generate their output. These cluster-environment-only metrics can be distinguished by the inclusion of their corresponding control metrics so that they can be optionally enabled or disabled on systems where they are not desired to be monitored or not supported. pmstore(3) can be used to assign values to these control metrics in order to enable (1) or disable (0) them. This mechanism is also useful on distributions that do not currently have full support for the GFS2 trace-points or provide older versions of the GFS2 driver. Further details on clustering and GFS2 can be found at http://redhat.com INSTALLATION
Install the GFS2 PMDA by using the Install script as root: # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2 # ./Install To uninstall, do the following as root: # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gfs2 # ./Remove pmdagfs2 is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd when the agent is installed or removed. FILES

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 configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). SEE ALSO

NAME
pmdaroomtemp - room temperature performance metrics domain agent (PMDA) SYNOPSIS
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp/pmdaroomtemp [-d domain] [-l logfile] DESCRIPTION
pmdaroomtemp is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports the temperature from one or more sensors built using the DS2480 and DS1280 chipsets and MicroLAN technology from Dallas Semiconductor Corporation. The roomtemp PMDA exports metrics that reflect the temperatures from one or more of these devices, in both degrees Celcius and Fahrenheit. Each metric has one instance for each temperature sensor device. The external instance identifiers are the serial numbers (in hex) of the DS1280 chips discovered when the MicroLAN was probed. A brief description of the pmdaroomtemp command line options follows: -d It is absolutely crucial that the performance metrics domain number specified here is unique and consistent. That is, domain should be different for every PMDA on the one host, and the same domain number should be used for the same PMDA on all hosts. -l Location of the log file. By default, a log file named roomtemp.log is written in the current directory of pmcd(1) when pmdaroomtemp is started, i.e. $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd. If the log file cannot be created or is not writable, output is written to the standard error instead. INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names, help text and values for the roomtemp performance metrics, do the following as root: # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp # ./Install If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root: # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp # ./Remove pmdaroomtemp 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
