NAME

       pmdacifs - Common Internet Filesystem (CIFS) PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdacifs  is  a  Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values about
       mounted CIFS shares from the /proc/fs/cifs directory. This PMDA requires at least the CIFS
       kernel  module  to  be  loaded  to return some metric values and at least one mounted CIFS
       share in order to provide data for all metrics.

INSTALLATION

       Install the CIFS PMDA by using the Install script as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs
             # ./Remove

       pmdacifs is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.   The  Install  and
       Remove scripts notify pmcd when the agent is installed or removed.

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs/help
           default help text file for the CIFS metrics

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       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).
