Описание (Description)
Derived metrics may be used to extend the available metrics with
new (derived) metrics using simple arithmetic expressions. The
definitions of these metrics can be persisted and loaded
programatically by monitor tools using pmLoadDerivedConfig.
The path parameter defines a colon separated list of files and/or
directories (the syntax is the same as for the $PATH variable for
sh(1)), from which derived metric specifications are to be
sourced. The path components are expanded into a list of files
as follows: if a component is a file, then that file is added to
the list, else if a component is a directory then recursive
descent is used to enumerate all files below that directory and
these are added to the list. Each file in the resulting list is
parsed in order, and according to the derived metrics syntax
described below.
Each line of the file(s) identified by path is either a comment
line (with a ``#'' in the first position of the line) or the
declaration of a derived performance metric, specified as:
* the name of the derived metric, using the same ``dot notation''
syntax that is used for PCP performance metrics, see
PCPIntro(1) and PMNS(5).
* an equals sign (``='')
* a valid expression for a derived metric, as described in
pmRegisterDerived(3).
For each line containing a derived metric definition,
pmRegisterDerived(3) is called to register the new derived
metric.
Once a derived metric has been declared, it may be assigned
additional attributes with a line of the form:
* the name of the derived metric,
* a left parenthesis, an attribute type and a right parenthesis,
* an equals sign (``=''),
* an attribute value.
Currently, attribute type may be either oneline or helptext to
designate the ``one line'' or expanded help text to be associated
with the derived metric, see pmLookupText(3).
The attribute value may be either arbitrary text following the
``='' and ending at the end of the line, else a string enclosed
in either single quotes (') or double quotes ("). In the latter
case, the attribute value may span multiple lines, and a simple
escape mechanism is supported, namely for any character ``x'',
``\x'' is replaced by ``x'' (this allows quotes to be escaped
within a string, for example), and there is a special case when
the ``\'' comes at the end of the line in which case the
following newline is not included in the attribute value.
Outside of attribute values, white space is ignored in the lines,
and blank lines are ignored altogether.
Because pmLoadDerivedConfig may process many files, each of which
may contain many derived metric specifications, it is not
possible to provide a specific error status on return. Hence the
result from pmLoadDerivedConfig will be the number of derived
metrics successfully loaded from files on the given path.
Catastrophic errors such as not being able to open one of the
files on the given path will cause an immediate return with a
negative return value that can be passed to pmErrStr(3) to obtain
the associated error message.
When errors are encountered in the derived metric specifications
diagnostic messages are generated by pmRegisterDerived(3) and
displayed via pmprintf(3).
Примеры (Examples)
# sample derived metric definitions
bad_in_pkts = network.interface.in.errors + network.interface.in.drops
# note the following would need to be on a single line ...
disk.dev.read_pct = 100 * delta(disk.dev.read) /
(delta(disk.dev.read) + delta(disk.dev.write))
disk.dev.read_pct(oneline) = percentage of disk reads
disk.dev.read_pct(helptext) = '\
Percentage of disk reads compared to the total number of
disk reads and disk writes.'
