NAME

pmdagpfs - gpfs filesystem statistics performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

pmdagpfs is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmpmon program to provide information on mounted gpfs filesystems.

INSTALLATION

Install the gpfs PMDA by using the Install script as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpfs
# ./Install

To uninstall, do the following as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpfs
# ./Remove

pmdagpfs 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 ENVIRONMENT

The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
