NAME

       pmdanetfilter  -  Linux  netfilter IP connection tracking performance metrics domain agent
       (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdanetfilter is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA)  which  exports  metric  values
       from the IP connection tracking module in the Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION

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

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Remove

       pmdanetfilter  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).
