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
-
$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:
- LDAP server
- bind DN
- bind password
- search scope
- search base
- search filter
- 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
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).
