NAME

pmdads389 - 389 Directory Server PMDA

DESCRIPTION

pmdads389 is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which extracts live performance data from a running 389 Directory Server instance.

See the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide for description for each metric.

INSTALLATION

pmdads389 reads an optional configuration file

o	`$PCP_PMDAS_DIR`/ds389/ds389.conf

This file can contain overridden values (Perl code) for the settings listed at the start of pmdads389.pl, namely:

o	LDAP server
o	bind DN
o	bind password
o	search scope
o	search base
o	search filter
o	query interval

Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the 389 DS performance metrics by doing the following as root:


# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389
# ./Install

To uninstall, do the following as root:


# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389
# ./Remove

pmdads389 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

The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
