NAME¶
pmdakvm - Linux virtualisation performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
DESCRIPTION¶
pmdakvm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric
values from the Linux KVM virtualisation subsystem.
Unlike many PMDAs it dynamically enumerates its metric hierarchy, based entirely
on the contents of /sys/kernel/debug/kvm.
INSTALLATION¶
If you want access to the names and values for the kvm performance metrics, do
the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
# ./Remove
pmdakvm is launched by
pmcd(1) and should never be executed
directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify
pmcd(1) when the agent
is installed or removed.
