PROGRAM:
NAME
pmdasendmail - sendmail performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
SYNOPSIS
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/sendmail/pmdasendmail [-d domain] [-l logfile] [-U username]
DESCRIPTION
pmdasendmail is a sendmail Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports mail
traffic statistics as collected by sendmail(1).
Before the sendmail PMDA can export any metrics, sendmail(1) must have statistics
collection enabled. This involves checking the name of the statistics file, as given by
the OS or O StatusFile control lines in /etc/sendmail.cf, and then creating this file if
it does not already exist. Removing the file will terminate statistics collection by
sendmail(1) and hence the sendmail PMDA.
A brief description of the pmdasendmail command line options follows:
-d It is absolutely crucial that the performance metrics domain number specified here is
unique and consistent. That is, domain should be different for every PMDA on the one
host, and the same domain number should be used for the same PMDA on all hosts.
-l Location of the log file. By default, a log file named sendmail.log is written in
the current directory of pmcd(1) when pmdasendmail is started, i.e.
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd. If the log file cannot be created or is not writable, output is
written to the standard error instead.
-U User account under which to run the agent. The default is the unprivileged "pcp"
account in current versions of PCP, but in older versions the superuser account
("root") was used by default.
There are no communication options, as the Install script ensures the sendmail PMDA will
be connected to PMCD by a pipe.
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names, help text and values for the sendmail performance
metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/sendmail
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/sendmail
# ./Remove
pmdasendmail 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.
