Описание (Description)
pmproxy
acts as a protocol proxy, allowing Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP) monitoring clients to connect to one or more pmcd(1) and/or
redis-server
(1) instances via pmproxy
.
In its default mode of operation, on platforms supporting this,
pmproxy
provides the REST API for all PCP services (see
PMWEBAPI(3) for details) and interfaces to the fast, scalable
time series query capabilities offered by PCP in conjunction with
a redis-server
(1) (see pmseries(1) for details).
pmproxy
can be deployed in a firewall domain, or on a cluster
``head'' node where the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
hosts where pmcd
and/or redis-server
are running may be unknown
to the PCP monitoring clients, but where the IP address of the
host running pmproxy
is known to these clients. Similarly, the
clients may have network connectivity only to the host where
pmproxy
is running, while there is network connectivity from that
host to the hosts of interest where pmcd
and/or redis-server
are
running.
The behaviour of the PCP monitoring clients is controlled by
either the PMPROXY_HOST
environment variable or through the
extended hostname specification (see PCPIntro(1) for details).
If neither of these mechanisms is used, clients will make their
PMAPI(3) connections directly to pmcd
. If the proxy hostname
syntax is used or PMPROXY_HOST
is set, then this should be the
hostname or IP address of the system where pmproxy
is running,
and the clients will connect to pmcd
or redis-server
indirectly
through the protocol proxy services of pmproxy.
Параметры (Options)
The available command line options are:
-A
Disable service advertisement. By default, pmproxy
will
advertise its presence on the network using any available
mechanisms (such as Avahi/DNS-SD), assisting remote
monitoring tools with finding it. These mechanisms are
disabled with this option.
-c
conffile, --config
=conffile
Specify the path to an optional configuration conffile, with
format as described in the ``CONFIGURATION'' section. This
option implies pmproxy
is running in timeseries
mode.
-C
certdb, --certdb
=certdb
Specify the path to the Network Security Services
certificate database, for (optional) secure connections.
This option implies pmproxy
is running in deprecated
mode.
The default is /etc/pki/nssdb
. Refer also to the -P
option.
If it does not already exist, this database can be created
using the certutil
(1) utility. This process and other
certificate database maintenance information is provided in
the PCPIntro(1) manual page and the online PCP tutorials.
-d
, --deprecated
By default pmproxy
prefers to run in the new timeseries
mode, providing REST APIs, asynchronous network I/O,
scalable time series, and secure connections using OpenSSL.
However, legacy deployments may wish to use the original
synchronous pmproxy
implementation using NSS and libpcp
networking; this can be achieved using this option. Note
that the -d
and -t
options are mutually exclusive.
-f
, --foreground
By default pmproxy
is started as a daemon. The -f
option
indicates that it should run in the foreground. This is
most useful when trying to diagnose problems with
establishing connections.
-F
, --systemd
Like -f
, the -F
option runs pmproxy
in the foreground, but
also does some housekeeping (like create a ``pid'' file and
change user id). This is intended for use when pmproxy
is
launched from systemd(1) and the daemonizing has already
been done by systemd(1) and does not need to be done again
by pmproxy
, which is the case when neither -f
nor -F
is
specified.
At most one of -f
and -F
may be specified.
-h
host, --redishost
=host
Specify an alternate Redis host to connect to for time
series querying, overriding any configuration file settings.
This option implies pmproxy
is running in timeseries
mode.
-i
ipaddress, --interface
=ipaddress
This option is usually only used on hosts with more than one
network interface (very common for firewall and ``head''
node hosts where pmproxy
is likely to be deployed to
arbitrate access to an internal network). If no -i
options
are specified pmproxy
accepts PCP client connections on any
of its host's IP addresses. The -i
option is used to
specify explicitly an IP address that PCP client connections
should be accepted on. ipaddress should be in the standard
dotted form (e.g. 100.23.45.6). The -i
option may be used
multiple times to define a list of IP addresses. When one
or more -i
options is specified, attempted connections made
on any other IP addresses will be refused.
-l
logfile, --log
=logfile
By default a log file named pmproxy.log is written in the
current directory. The -l
option causes the log file to be
written to a given logfile instead of the default. If this
logfile cannot be created or is not writable, output is
written to the standard error instead.
-L
bytes
PDUs received by pmproxy
from PCP monitoring clients are
restricted to a maximum size of 65536 bytes by default to
defend against Denial of Service attacks. The -L
option may
be used to change the maximum incoming PDU size.
-M
certname, --certname
=certname
By default pmproxy
will try to use a certificate called PCP
Collector certificate
in its server role. The -M
option
allows this certificate certname to be changed. This option
implies pmproxy
is running in deprecated
mode.
-p
port, --port
=port
Specify an alternate port number to listen on for client
connections. The default value is 44322.
-P
passfile, --passfile
=passfile
Specify the path to a passfile containing the Network
Security Services certificate database password for
(optional) secure connections, and for databases that are
password protected. This option implies pmproxy
is running
in deprecated
mode. Refer also to the -C
option. When
using this option, great care should be exercised to ensure
appropriate ownership ("pcp" user, typically) and
permissions on this file (0400, so as to be unreadable by
any user other than the user running the pmproxy
process).
-r
port, --redisport
=port
Specify an alternate Redis port number to connect to for
time series querying, overriding any configuration file
settings. This option implies pmproxy
is running in
timeseries
mode.
-s
sockname, --socket
=sockname
Specify the path to a local unix domain socket (for
platforms supporting this socket family only). The default
value is $PCP_RUN_DIR/pmproxy.socket. This option implies
pmproxy
is running in timeseries
mode.
-t
, --timeseries
Operate in automatic archive timeseries discovery mode.
This mode of operation will enable the PMWEBAPI(3) REST
APIs, detect system archives created by pmlogger(1) and
import them into a redis-server
(1) automatically, for fast,
scalable time series querying described in pmseries(1).
-U
username, --username
=username
Assume the identity of the given username before starting to
accept incoming packets from PCP monitoring clients.
-x
outfile
Before the pmproxy
logfile can be opened, pmproxy
may
encounter a fatal error which prevents it from starting. By
default the output describing this error is sent to /dev/tty
but it may redirected to outfile.
-?
, --help
Display usage message and exit.
Конфигурация (Configuration)
When running in the timeseries
mode of operation, runtime
configuration is relatively complex and typically handled via the
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmproxy/pmproxy.conf file. This file is in the
common ``ini'' format, with section headers and individual
variables and values with each section. The configuration file
installed as part of PCP documents every available section and
option.
At a high level, the [pmproxy] section can be used to explicitly
enable or disable each of the different protocols.
The [pmseries] section allows connection information for one or
more backing redis-server
processes to be configured (hostnames
and ports). Note to access multiple (scalable) Redis servers,
the servers variable in this section can be a comma-separated
list of hostname:port pairs. Alternatively, it can be a single
redis-server
host that will be queried using the "CLUSTER INFO"
command to automatically configure multiple backing hosts,
described at https://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec
.
STARTING AND STOPPING PMPROXY
Normally, pmproxy
is started automatically at boot time and
stopped when the system is being brought down. Under certain
circumstances it is necessary to start or stop pmproxy
manually.
To do this one must become superuser and type
# $PCP_RC_DIR/pmproxy start
to start pmproxy
, or
# $PCP_RC_DIR/pmproxy stop
to stop pmproxy
. Starting pmproxy
when it is already running is
the same as stopping it and then starting it again.
Normally pmproxy
listens for PCP client connections on TCP/IP
port number 44322 (as well as 44323 with timeseries
enabled)
registered at https://www.iana.org/
. Either the environment
variable PMPROXY_PORT
or the -p
command line option may be used
to specify alternative port number(s) when pmproxy
is started; in
each case, the specification is a comma-separated list of one or
more numerical port numbers. Should both methods be used or
multiple -p
options appear on the command line, pmproxy
will
listen on the union of the set of ports specified via all -p
options and the PMPROXY_PORT
environment variable. If non-
default ports are used with pmproxy
care should be taken to
ensure that PMPROXY_PORT
is also set in the environment of any
client application that will connect to pmproxy
, or that the
extended host specification syntax is used (see PCPIntro(1) for
details).
Диагностика (Diagnostic)
If pmproxy
is already running the message "Error:
OpenRequestSocket bind: Address already in use" will appear.
This may also appear if pmproxy
was shutdown with an outstanding
request from a client. In this case, a request socket has been
left in the TIME_WAIT state and until the system closes it down
(after some timeout period) it will not be possible to run
pmproxy
.
In addition to the standard PCP
debugging options, see pmdbg(1),
pmproxy
currently supports the debugging option context
for
tracing client connections and disconnections.

Окружение (Environment)
In addition to the PCP environment variables described in the PCP
ENVIRONMENT
section below, there are several environment
variables that influence the interactions between a PCP
monitoring client, pmproxy
and pmcd
.
PMCD_PORT
For the PCP monitoring client this (or the default port
number) is passed to pmproxy
and used to connect to pmcd
.
In the environment of pmproxy PMCD_PORT is not used.
PMPROXY_HOST
For the PCP monitoring client this is the hostname or IP
address of the host where pmproxy
is running. In recent
versions of PCP (since version 3) this has been superseded
by the extended hostname syntax (see PCPIntro(1) for
details).
PMPROXY_PORT
For the PCP monitoring client this is the port on which
pmproxy
will accept connections. The default is 44322, as
well as 44323 with timeseries
enabled.
PMCD_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
, PMCD_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT
and
PMCD_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
(see PCPIntro(1)) For the PCP monitoring client, setting
these environment variables will modify the timeouts used
for interactions between the client and pmproxy
(independent of which pmcd
is being used). For pmproxy
these same environment variables control the timeouts
between pmproxy
and all pmcd(1) instances (independent of
which monitoring client is involved).
If set to the value 1, the PMPROXY_LOCAL
environment variable
will cause pmproxy
to run in a localhost-only mode of operation,
where it binds only to the loopback interface.
The PMPROXY_MAXPENDING
variable can be set to indicate the
maximum length to which the queue of pending client connections
may grow.
Окружение PCP (PCP environment)
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).
For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see
pmGetOptions(3).
