NAME

       pmdakvm - Linux virtualisation performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdakvm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the
       Linux KVM virtualisation subsystem.

       Unlike many PMDAs it dynamically enumerates its metric hierarchy, based entirely on the
       contents of /sys/kernel/debug/kvm.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the kvm performance metrics, do the
       following as root:

               # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
               # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

               # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/kvm
               # ./Remove

       pmdakvm 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.
