NAME

Plugin_procnetdev2 - man page for the LDMS procnetdev2 plugin

SYNOPSIS

Within ldmsd_controller or a configuration file:

config name=procnetdev2 [ <attr> = <value> ]

DESCRIPTION

With LDMS (Lightweight Distributed Metric Service), plugins for the ldmsd (ldms daemon) are configured via ldmsd_controller or a configuration file. The procnetdev2 plugin uses LDMS_V_LIST and LDMS_V_RECORD to provide network info from /proc/net/dev.

CONFIGURATION ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX

The procnetdev2 plugin uses the sampler_base base class. This man page covers only the configuration attributes, or those with default values, specific to the this plugin; see ldms_sampler_base.man for the attributes of the base class.

config

name=<plugin_name> [ifaces=<ifs>]

configuration line

name=<plugin_name>

This MUST be procnetdev2.

ifaces=<ifs>

(Optional) A CSV list of interfaces to sample. If not specified, all available interfaces in /proc/net/dev will be reported. It is OK to specify non-existing interfaces in the ifaces list.

schema=<schema>

Optional schema name. It is intended that the same sampler on different nodes with different metrics or ifaces have a different schema. If not specified, will default to `procnetdev`.

BUGS

The maximum number of interfaces is limited to 32.

EXAMPLES

Within ldmsd_controller or a configuration file:

load name=procnetdev
config name=procnetdev producer=vm1_1 instance=vm1_1/procnetdev2 ifaces=eth0,eth1
start name=procnetdev interval=1000000 offset=0
