NAME

       pmdanetfilter - Linux netfilter IP connection tracking performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdanetfilter  is  a  Performance  Metrics  Domain  Agent  (PMDA) which exports metric values from the IP
       connection tracking module in the Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION

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

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Remove

       pmdanetfilter 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.

       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).
