NAME top

       pmdards - Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) for RDS

DESCRIPTION top

       The RDS PMDA is a Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) module that collects
       and exports performance statistics for Reliable Datagram Sockets
       (RDS).

INSTALLATION top

       To install the RDS PMDA, follow these steps:
              # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rds
              # ./Install

       To verify that the PMDA is running:
              $ pminfo -t rds

USAGE top

       To query RDS metrics, use the following command:
              $ pminfo rds
       To retrieve specific metric values:
              $ pmval rds.packet.tx.send_queued

FILES top

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rds/Install
              Installation script for RDS PMDA.

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rds/Remove
              Uninstallation script.

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/rds.log
              Log file for Rocestat PMDA events and errors.

PCP ENVIRONMENT top

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
       parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
       installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for
       these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an
       alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
