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

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).
