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.
11
12       Further details about rsyslog can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/.

INSTALLATION

15       If you want access to the names and values for the rsyslog  performance
16       metrics, do the following as root:
17
18           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
19           # ./Install
20
21
22       To uninstall, do the following as root:
23
24           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
25           # ./Remove
26
27       pmdarsyslog  is  launched  by  pmcd(1) and should never be executed di‐
28       rectly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
29       installed or removed.
30
31       In  order  to  use this agent, rsyslog stats gathering must be enabled.
32       This is done by adding the lines:
33
34           module(load="impstats" interval="10" severity="7")
35           if $syslogtag contains 'rsyslogd-pstats' then {
36               action(
37                   name="pstats-for-pcp"
38                   type="ompipe"
39                   template="RSYSLOG_FileFormat"
40                   pipe="/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats"
41               )
42               stop
43           }
44
45       to your rsyslog.conf(5) configuration file after installing the PMDA.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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