NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lmsensors/pmdalmsensors.python [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).
