PMDA - introduction to the Performance Metrics Domain Agent support library


Описание (Description)

To assist in the development of Performance Metric Domain Agents (PMDAs) for the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), a procedural interface is provided that extends the Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI(3)) library. These procedures are designed to enable a programmer to quickly build a PMDA which can then be tested and refined. However, this also implies that a PMDA has a particular structure which may not be suitable for all PMDA implementations.

Once you are familiar with the PCP and PMDA frameworks, you can quickly implement a new PMDA with only a few data structures and functions. This is covered in far greater detail in the Performance Co-Pilot Programmer's Guide.

A PMDA is responsible for a set of performance metrics, in the sense that it must respond to requests from pmcd(1) for information about performance metrics, instance domains, and instantiated values.

This man page contains sections of the simple PMDA which is located at $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/simple.
