NAME

       pmdafarm - Seagate FARM Log PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdafarm  is  a  Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values for Device Mapper on
       the local system.

       This PMDA collects its data through the smartctl(8) utility and requires that the program is installed in
       order to function.

       Further details on smartctl and smartmontools can be found at https://smartmontools.org.

INSTALLATION

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

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/farm
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/farm
           # ./Remove

       pmdafarm 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

       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).
