pmStore - modify values of performance metrics


Синопсис C (C Synopsis)

#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

int pmStore(const pmResult *result);

cc ... -lpcp


Описание (Description)

In some special cases it may be helpful to modify the current values of performance metrics, e.g. to reset a counter to zero, or to modify a ``metric'' which is a control variable for some agent collecting performance metrics.

The routine pmStore is a lightweight inverse of pmFetch(3).

The caller must build the pmResult data structure (of course, this could have been returned from an earlier pmFetch(3) call) and then call pmStore.

It is an error to pass a request to pmStore in which the numval field within any of the pmValueSet structure has a value less than one.

The current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context must be one with a host as the source of metrics, and the current value of the nominated metrics will be changed, i.e. pmStore cannot be used to make retrospective changes to information in either the archive logs, or in the recent past for real-time sources of metrics.

The return code from pmStore is zero for success.


Диагностика (Diagnostic)

PM_ERR_GENERIC At least one of the modifications was rejected. No other status is available from below the PMAPI (this is the lightweight part of the functionality!). In cases where the outcome of pmStore for individual metrics is important, the caller should make one call to pmStore for each metric. On the other hand, a bulk modification can be performed in a single pmStore call for situations in which the outcome is not critical.

PM_ERR_NOTHOST The current PMAPI context is an archive rather than a host, or it is a host that is not set to the current time, i.e. has been ``rewound'' to the recent past using pmSetMode(3).

PM_ERR_TOOSMALL The number of metrics specified in result is less than one.

PM_ERR_VALUE One or more of the pmValueSets in result has a numval field with a value less than one.
