NAME¶
pmdasamba - Samba performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
DESCRIPTION¶
pmdasamba is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values from Samba, a Windows SMB/CIFS server for UNIX.
In order for values to be made available by this PMDA, Samba must have been
built with profiling support (WITH_PROFILE in "smbd -b" output).
This PMDA dynamically enumerates much of its metric hierarchy, based on the
contents of "smbstatus --profile".
When the agent is installed (see below), the Install script will attempt to
enable Samba statistics gathering, using "smbcontrol --profile".
INSTALLATION¶
If you want access to the names and values for the samba performance metrics, do
the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Remove
pmdasamba 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.
