Описание (Description)
pmdatxmon is an example Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA)
which exports a small number of performance metrics from a
simulated transaction monitor.
The txmon PMDA is shipped as both binary and source code and is
designed to be an aid for PMDA developers; the txmon PMDA
demonstrates how performance data can be exported from an
application (in this case txrecord) to the PCP infrastructure via
a shared memory segment. As a matter of convenience, pmdatxmon
creates (and destroys on exit) the shared memory segment.
The tx_type arguments are arbitrary unique tags used to identify
different transaction types.
The txrecord application simulates the processing of one or more
transactions identified by tx_type and with an observed service
time of servtime .
With the -l option, txrecord displays the current summary of the
transaction activity from the shared memory segment.
genload is a shell and awk(1) script that acts as a front-end to
txrecord to generate a constant load of simulated transaction
activity.
A brief description of the pmdatxmon 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
txmon.log is written in the current directory of pmcd(1)
when pmdatxmon 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.
-U User account under which to run the agent. The default is
the unprivileged "pcp" account in current versions of PCP,
but in older versions the superuser account ("root") was
used by default.
Установка (Installation)
If you want access to the names, help text and values for the
txmon performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/txmon
# ./Install
You will be prompted for the tx_type tags.
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/txmon
# ./Remove
pmdatxmon 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.

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).
