NAME

       pmdasmart - S.M.A.R.T Data PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdasmart  is  a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values for Device Mapper on
       the local system.

       This PMDA collects its data through the smartctl(8) utility and requires that the program is installed in
       order to function.

       Further details on smartctl and smartmontools can be found at https://smartmontools.org.

INSTALLATION

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

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/smart
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/smart
             # ./Remove

       pmdasmart  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 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).
