   pmcd    ( 1 )

демон сборщика показателей производительности (performance metrics collector daemon)

Конфигурация (Configuration)

On startup pmcd looks for a configuration file named $PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH. This file specifies which agents cover which performance metrics domains and how pmcd should make contact with the agents. An optional section specifying access controls may follow the agent configuration data.

Warning: pmcd is usually started as part of the boot sequence and runs initially as root. The configuration file may contain shell commands to create agents, which will be executed by root. To prevent security breaches the configuration file should be writable only by root. The use of absolute path names is also recommended.

The case of the reserved words in the configuration file is unimportant, but elsewhere, the case is preserved.

Blank lines and comments are permitted (even encouraged) in the configuration file. A comment begins with a ``#'' character and finishes at the end of the line. A line may be continued by ensuring that the last character on the line is a ``\'' (backslash). A comment on a continued line ends at the end of the continued line. Spaces may be included in lexical elements by enclosing the entire element in double quotes. A double quote preceded by a backslash is always a literal double quote. A ``#'' in double quotes or preceded by a backslash is treated literally rather than as a comment delimiter. Lexical elements and separators are described further in the following sections.
