labels.conf - Performance Co-Pilot labels configuration
/etc/pcp/labels.conf
Several Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) tools and utilities support
the use of metric labels. This functionality applied a
hierarchical set of labels to each instance of every metric, as
described in pmLookupLabels(3).
The pmcd(1) and pmproxy(1) daemons are particularly important to
the labels system, respectively providing the labels in real-time
and then discovering recorded (archive) labels and indexing these
for pmseries(1) queries using a redis-server(1).
The /etc/pcp/labels.conf file is a single point of configuration
for behaviour affecting all labels exported by pmcd or through
tools using PMAPI local context services. It uses the common
``ini'' file format and any variable it specifies that is not in
an explicit square-bracket enclosed section is considered a
[global] variable.
The available configuration variables are as follows :
machineid_hash=none|sha256
When specified in the [global] section, controls the manner
in which the local machine-id(5) is exported as a label.
The default setting (none) exports a "machineid" context
label with value reflecting the contents of the
/etc/machine-id file, on any platforms that provide this
file. The alternative (sha256) exports a "machineid_sha256"
label, instead, and the value is the SHA256 (one-way) hash
of the file.

pmLookupLabels(3) and machine-id(5).
