.. _clock: ============ clock ============ ----------------------------------- Man page for the LDMS clock plugin ----------------------------------- :Date: 18 Feb 2018 :Manual section: 7 :Manual group: LDMS sampler SYNOPSIS ======== | Within ldmsd_controller or a configuration file: | config name=clock [ = ] DESCRIPTION =========== The clock plugin provides a counter of samples taken since it started. This is of pedagogical interest and useful for detecting situations where a sample is missed either in being taken or in transmission. CONFIGURATION ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX ============================== The clock 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 :ref:`ldms_sampler_base(7) ` for the attributes of the base class. **config** | name= [schema=] | configuration line name= | | This MUST be clock 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 \`clock`. BUGS ==== No known bugs. EXAMPLES ======== Within ldmsd_controller or a configuration file: :: load name=clock config name=clock producer=vm1_1 instance=vm1_1/clock start name=clock interval=1000000 offset=0 SEE ALSO ======== :ref:`ldmsd(8) `, :ref:`ldms_quickstart(7) `, :ref:`ldmsd_controller(8) `, :ref:`ldms_sampler_base(7) `
