NAME

6       pmdalmsensors.python  -  Linux  hardware monitoring performance metrics
7       domain agent (PMDA)

SYNOPSIS

10       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/pmdalmsensors.python [debug]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       pmdalmsensors is  a  Performance  Metrics  Domain  Agent  (PMDA)  which
14       extracts performance metrics describing the state of hardware using the
15       lm-sensors software on compatible motherboards.
16
17       The lmsensors PMDA exports metrics that measure  fan  speeds  and  core
18       temperatures.
19

INSTALLATION

21       If you want access to the names, help text and values for the lmsensors
22       performance metrics, do the following as root:
23
24            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors
25            # ./Install
26
27       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
28
29            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors
30            # ./Remove
31
32       pmdalmsensors.python is usually launched by pmcd (1), and not  executed
33       directly. Direct execution is mostly used for debugging purposes.
34
35       The  Install  and  Remove  scripts  notify  pmcd  (1) when the agent is
36       installed or removed.
37

OPTIONS

39       pmdalmsensors.python supports the following options.
40
41       -i, --inject
42              inject data from file instead of using sensors
43
44       -d, --debug
45              debug level: 0 (default), 1 or 2
46
47       -h, --help
48              show a help message
49
50              To use options while pmdalmsensors.python is run from PMCD,  you
51              might want to use 'args' in the 'Install' stript, for example
52
53              args="-i /path/static_sensors_output.txt"

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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