NAME

       pmdafarm - Seagate FARM Log PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdafarm  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/farm
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/farm
           # ./Remove

       pmdafarm  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).
