NAME

       pmdacifs - Common Internet Filesystem (CIFS) PMDA

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.

       Further details on CIFS can be found at http://redhat.com

INSTALLATION

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

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/cifs
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following 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.

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).
