1 | samba PMDA
|
---|
2 | ===========
|
---|
3 |
|
---|
4 | This PMDA is a sample that illustrates how a simple samba monitor
|
---|
5 | PMDA might be constructed, using a shared memory segment to transfer
|
---|
6 | information about transaction activity from the smb daemon.
|
---|
7 |
|
---|
8 | Note:
|
---|
9 | This PMDA may be remade from source and hence requires
|
---|
10 | a C compiler and Perl to be installed.
|
---|
11 |
|
---|
12 | Uses of make(1) may fail (without removing or clobbering files)
|
---|
13 | if the C compiler cannot be found. This is most likely to
|
---|
14 | happen when running the PMDA ./Install script.
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | The only remedial action is to install the C compiler, or
|
---|
17 | hand-craft changes to the Makefile.
|
---|

19 | Metrics
|
---|
20 | =======
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | The file ./help contains descriptions for all of the metrics exported
|
---|
23 | by this PMDA.
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | Once the PMDA has been installed, the following command will list all
|
---|
26 | the available metrics and their explanatory "help" text:
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | $ pminfo -fT samba
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | Installation
|
---|
31 | ============
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | + # mkdir /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
34 | + # cp * /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
35 | + # cp ../source/include/profile.h /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
36 | + # cd /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | + Check that there is no clash in the Performance Metrics Domain
|
---|
39 | defined in ./domain.h and the other PMDAs currently in use
|
---|
40 | (/etc/pmcd.conf). If there is, edit ./domain.h to choose another
|
---|
41 | domain number.
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | + If you are not installing on an IRIX system, edit samba.c and
|
---|
44 | comment out the
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | #define IRIX 1
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | + Then simply use
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | # ./Install
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | + Alternatively, to install just the Performance Metrics Name Space
|
---|
53 | for the samba metrics on the local system, but not the samba PMDA
|
---|
54 | (presumably because the local system is running PCP 1.x and you
|
---|
55 | wish to connect to a remote system where PCP 2.0 and the samba PMDA
|
---|
56 | is running), make sure the Performance Metrics Domain defined in
|
---|
57 | ./domain.h matches the domain chosen for the samba PMDA on the
|
---|
58 | remote system (check the second field in the corresponding line of
|
---|
59 | the pmcd.conf file on the remote system - located in /etc on IRIX
|
---|
60 | and /var/pcp/config/pmcd on Linux), then
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | # ./Install -N
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | De-installation
|
---|
65 | ===============
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | + Simply use
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | # cd /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
70 | # ./Remove
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | + If you also want to remove the sources use
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | # cd /
|
---|
75 | # rm -rf /var/pcp/pmdas/samba
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | Making something happen
|
---|
78 | =======================
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | The application "smbd" updates the shared memory segment to add
|
---|
81 | profile information about smbd. By default updating is disabled.
|
---|
82 | To start updating of the shared memory segment you need to run the
|
---|
83 | smbcontrol command to turn on profiling for one or more smbd processes
|
---|
84 | (see the man page for smbcontrol).
|
---|
85 |

|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | Troubleshooting
|
---|
89 | ===============
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 | + After installing or restarting the agent, the PMCD log file
|
---|
92 | (pmcd.log) and the PMDA log file (samba.log) should be checked
|
---|
93 | for any warnings or errors. These logs are located in
|
---|
94 | /var/log/pcp/pmcd on Linux and /var/adm/pcplog on IRIX.
