pmdakvm(1) - Linux man page

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.
