NAME

6       pmdarsyslog - rsyslog (reliable and extended syslog) PMDA
7

DESCRIPTION

9       pmdarsyslog  is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
10       metric values from the rsyslogd(8) server.  Further details about rsys‐
11       log can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/.
12

INSTALLATION

14       If  you want access to the names and values for the rsyslog performance
15       metrics, do the following as root:
16
17             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
18             # ./Install
19
20       To uninstall, do the following as root:
21
22             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
23             # ./Remove
24
25       pmdarsyslog is  launched  by  pmcd(1)  and  should  never  be  executed
26       directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent
27       is installed or removed.
28
29       In order to use this agent, rsyslog stats gathering  must  be  enabled.
30       This is done by adding the lines:
31
32             $ModLoad impstats
33             $PStatsInterval 5       # log every 5 seconds
34             syslog.info             |/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats
35
36       to  your  rsyslog.conf(5) configuration file after installing the PMDA.
37       Take care to ensure the syslog.info messages do not get logged  in  any
38       other  file,  as  this could unexpectedly fill your filesystem.  Syntax
39       useful for this is syslog.!=info for explicitly excluding these.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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