Описание (Description)
When using the Performance Metrics Programming Interface (PMAPI)
of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), performance metrics are
identified by an external name in a hierarchic Performance
Metrics Name Space (PMNS), and an internal identifier, the
Performance Metric Identifier (PMID).
A PMNS specifies the association between a metric's name and its
PMID.
A PMNS is defined on one or more ASCII source files.
Loading of a PMNS is done by calling pmLoadNameSpace(3) or
pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3).
As of Version 3.10.3 of PCP, by default duplicate names for the
same PMID are allowed in the PMNS, although
pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3) provides an alternative interface with
user-defined control over the processing of duplicate names in
the PMNS. The external format for a PMNS conforms to the syntax
and semantics described in the following sections.
There is one default PMNS in the files below $PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns,
although users and application developers are free to create and
use alternate PMNS's. For an example of this, see the PCP
Tutorial in $PCP_DEMOS_DIR/Tutorial.
Although an application can call pmLoadNameSpace(3), normally
this is only done directly for the -n command line option where
an explicit root PMNS file is specified. Since PCP version 2
uses a distributed PMNS (see below), an application can extract
PMNS information from a host's PMCD or an archive. If the PMNS
source is a version 1 archive (see PCPIntro(1)), however, then
the local PMNS will be loaded using the path specified by the
environment variable PMNS_DEFAULT.
DISTRIBUTED PMNS
In PCP version 1, the PMNS functions in the API all operated on a
PMNS loaded locally from a file. Since PCP version 2, however,
PMNS functions may get the PMNS information remotely from a PMCD
or directly from the meta data of an archive.
PROCESSING FRAMEWORK
The PMNS specification is initially passed through pmcpp(1).
This means the following facilities may be used in the
specification
+ C-style comments
+ #include directives
+ #define directives and macro substitution
+ conditional processing via #ifdef ... #endif, etc.
When pmcpp(1) is executed, the ``standard'' include directories
are the current directory and $PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns.
The pre-processing with pmcpp(1) may be omitted in some cases
where the PMNS is known to not contain any C-style comments,
preprocessor directives or macros. Refer to the descriptions of
pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3) and pmLoadNameSpace(3) for details.
Синтаксис (Syntax)
The general syntax for a non-leaf node in the PMNS is as follows
pathname {
name [pmid]
...
}
Where pathname is the full pathname from the root of the PMNS to
this non-leaf node, with each component in the pathname separated
by a ``.''. The root node for the PMNS must have the special
name ``root'', but the common prefix ``root.'' must be omitted
from all pathnames. Each component in the pathname must begin
with an alphabetic character, and be followed by zero or more
characters drawn from the alphabetics, the digits and the
underscore ``_'') character. For alphabetic characters in a
pathname component, upper and lower case are distinguished.
Non-leaf nodes in the PMNS may be defined in any order.
The descendent nodes are defined by the set of names, relative to
the pathname of their parent non-leaf node. For the descendent
nodes, leaf nodes have a pmid specification, non-leaf nodes do
not. The syntax for the pmid specification has been chosen to
help manage the allocation of PMIDs across disjoint and
autonomous domains of administration and implementation. Each
pmid consists of 3 integer parts, separated by colons, e.g.
14:27:11. This hierarchic numbering scheme is intended to mirror
the implementation hierarchy of performance metric domain,
metrics cluster (data structure or operational similarity) and
individual metric. In practice, the two leading components are
likely to be macros in the PMNS specification source, and
pmcpp(1) will convert the macros to integers. These macros for
the initial components of the pmid are likely to be defined
either in a standard include file, e.g.
$PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns/stdpmid, or in the current source file.
To support dynamic metrics, where the existence of a metric is
known to a PMDA, but not visible in the PMNS, a variant syntax
for the pmid is supported, namely a domain number followed by
asterisks for the other components of the pmid, e.g. 14:*:*. The
corresponding metric name forms the root of a subtree of dynamic
metric names defined in the corresponding PMDA as identified by
the domain number.
The current allocation of the high-order (PMD or domain)
component of PMIDs is as follows.
