PMDARSYSLOG(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDARSYSLOG(1)NAMEpmdarsyslog - rsyslog (reliable and extended syslog) PMDA
DESCRIPTIONpmdarsyslog is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values from the rsyslogd(8) server. Further details about
rsyslog can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/.
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names and values for the rsyslog performance
metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog
# ./Remove
pmdarsyslog 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.
In order to use this agent, rsyslog stats gathering must be enabled.
This is done by adding the lines:
$ModLoad impstats
$PStatsInterval 5 # log every 5 seconds
syslog.info |/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats
to your rsyslog.conf(5) configuration file after installing the PMDA.
Take care to ensure the syslog.info messages do not get logged in any
other file, as this could unexpectedly fill your filesystem. Syntax
useful for this is syslog.!=info for explicitly excluding these.
