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 (Kernel Virtual  Machine)  virtualization
11       subsystem.
12
13       Per-processor KVM trace metrics from the kernel events enumerated below
14       /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm can be configured statically using
15       the pmdakvm configuration file, /etc/pcp/kvm/kvm.conf.
16

INSTALLATION

18       Optionally  configure  trace  points  in  the  configuration file, then
19       install the KVM PMDA by using the Install script as root:
20
21           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
22           # ./Install
23
24       To uninstall, do the following as root:
25
26           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
27           # ./Remove
28
29       pmdakvm is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be  executed  directly.
30       The  Install  and  Remove  scripts  notify  pmcd(1)  when  the agent is
31       installed or removed.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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