NAME

Plugin_vmstat - man page for the LDMS vmstat plugin

SYNOPSIS

Within ldmsd_controller or in a configuration file
config name=vmstat [ <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 vmstat plugin provides info from /proc/vmstat.

CONFIGURATION ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX

The vmstat 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> [schema=<sname>]
configuration line
name=<plugin_name>

This MUST be vmstat.
schema=<schema>

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

BUGS

No known bugs.

EXAMPLES

Within ldmsd_controller or a configuration file:

load name=vmstat
