NAME

       pmdacifs - Common Internet Filesystem (CIFS) PMDA

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs/pmdacifs [-D debug]

DESCRIPTION

       pmdacifs  is  a  Performance  Metrics  Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values about mounted CIFS
       shares from the /proc/fs/cifs directory. This PMDA requires at least the CIFS kernel module to be  loaded
       to  return  some  metric  values  and  at  least  one mounted CIFS share in order to provide data for all
       metrics.

INSTALLATION

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

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, the following must be done as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs
           # ./Remove

       pmdacifs 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.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs/help
           default help text file for the CIFS metrics

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs/Install
           installation script for the pmdacifs agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs/Remove
           undo installation script for the pmdacifs agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/cifs.log
           default log file for error messages from pmdacifs

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).

DEBUGGING OPTIONS

       The  -D or --debug option enables the output of additional diagnostics on stderr to help triage problems,
       although the information is sometimes cryptic and primarily intended to provide guidance  for  developers
       rather  end-users.  debug is a comma separated list of debugging options; use pmdbg(1) with the -l option
       to obtain a list of the available debugging options and their meaning.
