NAME

       pmdalmsensors - Linux hardware monitoring performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/pmdalmsensors [debug]

DESCRIPTION

       pmdalmsensors  is  a  Performance  Metrics  Domain Agent (PMDA) which extracts performance
       metrics describing the state of hardware  using  the  lm-sensors  software  on  compatible
       motherboards.

       The lmsensors PMDA exports metrics that measure fan speeds and core temperatures.

INSTALLATION

       If  you  want  access  to  the  names,  help text and values for the lmsensors performance
       metrics, do the following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors
            # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors
            # ./Remove

       pmdalmsensors.python is usually launched by pmcd (1), and not  executed  directly.  Direct
       execution is mostly used for debugging purposes.

       The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd (1) when the agent is installed or removed.

OPTIONS

       pmdalmsensors.python supports the following options.

       -i, --inject
              inject data from file instead of using sensors

       -d, --debug
              debug level: 0 (default), 1 or 2

       -h, --help
              show a help message

              To  use  options while pmdalmsensors.python is run from PMCD, you might want to use
              'args' in the 'Install' stript, for example

              args="-i /path/static_sensors_output.txt"

FILES

       $PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH
                 command line options used to launch pmdalmsensors
       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/help
                 default help text file for the lmsensors metrics
       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/Install
                 installation script for the pmdalmsensors agent
       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/Remove
                 undo installation script for the pmdalmsensors agent

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).
