NAME

       pmdahdb - SAP HANA PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdahdb is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values about an SAP HANA (High-
       performance  ANalytic  Appliance) database, a multi-model database that stores data in its memory instead
       of keeping it on a disk.

       This PMDA can be used in scale-out scenarios.  All metrics are Host and Port aware.  Host  and  Port  are
       included in the instance names (<host>.<port>.<instance>).

       pmdahdb  currently  does  not  support  Multitenant Database Container (MDC) systems.  The agent can only
       target a single database container at the moment (this container can be a tenant database).

INSTALLATION

       The hdb configuration is maintained with hdb.conf.  Currently there is only one hdb section that contains
       the SAP HANA connection parameters.  Quoted passwords are supported.  For more information  about  quoted
       passwords, see: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_HANA_ONE/

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

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb
           # ./Remove

       pmdahdb  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 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).
