PMDADS389(1)

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

    •   $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
