NAME         top

       pmdads389log - 389 Directory Server Log PMDA

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmdads389log is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which
       extracts statistics from 389 Directory Server access log using the
       logconv.pl(1) utility.

INSTALLATION         top

       pmdads389log reads configuration file

           • $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389log/ds389log.conf

       This file can contain overridden values (Perl code) for the
       settings listed at the start of pmdads389log.pl, namely:

           • logconv.pl parameters
           • minimal query interval
           • 389 DS access log to use
           • 389 DS log directory to use (used if no file specified)
           • non-root user having read access to the access log file

       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/ds389log
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389log
           # ./Remove

       pmdads389log 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.

FILES         top

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389log/ds389log.conf
              configuration file for the pmdads389log agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389log/Install
              installation script for the pmdads389log agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/ds389log/Remove
              undo installation script for the pmdads389log agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/ds389log.log
              default log file for error messages from pmdads389log

       /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-.../access
              389 Directory Server access log parsed by logconv.pl

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       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).
