##  NAME  top

    
    
           **pmdagluster** - Gluster Filesystem PMDA
    

##  DESCRIPTION  top

    
    
           **pmdagluster** is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which
           exports metric values about mounted gluster filesystems using the
           **gluster**(8) command.  This PMDA exports metrics about volumes and
           bricks both local and remote to the node where pmdagluster is
           running.
    
           The gluster filesystem supports fine-grained control over
           enabling statistics on individual volumes, so that the values are
           optionally enabled or disabled on systems where they are not
           desired to be monitored.
    
           The [pmstore(1)](../man1/pmstore.1.html) command can be used to enable and disable
           profiling of volumes.  Using the individual instances of the
           gluster.volume.profile metric, one can set their values (and
           associated profiling) either on (1) or off (0).  Additionally,
           [pminfo(1)](../man1/pminfo.1.html) can report on the current status of profiling of each
           volume.
    
                # pminfo âf gluster.volume.profile
    
                gluster.volume.profile
                    inst [0 or "gv0"] value 0
                    inst [1 or "gv1"] value 1
    
                # pmstore âi "gv0" gluster.volume.profile 1
                gluster.volume.profile inst [0 or "gv0"] old value=0 new value=1
    
           Further details on the gluster filesystem can be found at
           **<http://www.gluster.org> **.
    

##  INSTALLATION  top

    
    
           Install the gluster PMDA by using the Install script as root:
    
               **# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gluster**
               **# ./Install**
    
           To uninstall, do the following as root:
    
               **# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gluster**
               **# ./Remove**
    
           **pmdagluster** is launched by [pmcd(1)](../man1/pmcd.1.html) and should never be executed
           directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify [pmcd(1)](../man1/pmcd.1.html) when the
           agent is installed or removed.

               installation script for the **pmdagluster** agent

##  PCP ENVIRONMENT  top

    
    
           Environment variables with the prefix **PCP_** are used to
           parameterize the file and directory names used by **PCP**. On each
           installation, the file **/etc/pcp.conf** contains the local values
           for these variables.  The **$PCP_CONF** variable may be used to
           specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
           [pcp.conf(5)](../man5/pcp.conf.5.html).
