NAME

6       pmdakvm - Linux virtualization performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
7

DESCRIPTION

9       pmdakvm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports met‐
10       ric values from the Linux KVM virtualisation subsystem.
11
12       Unlike many PMDAs it dynamically enumerates its metric hierarchy, based
13       entirely on the contents of /sys/kernel/debug/kvm.
14

INSTALLATION

16       Install the kvm PMDA by using the Install script as root:
17
18             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
19             # ./Install
20
21       To uninstall, do the following as root:
22
23             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
24             # ./Remove
25
26       pmdakvm  is  launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.
27       The Install and  Remove  scripts  notify  pmcd(1)  when  the  agent  is
28       installed or removed.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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