By default, a log file named +.I roomtemp.log +is written in the current directory of +.BR pmcd (1) +when +.B pmdaroomtemp +is started, i.e. +.BR $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd . +If the log file cannot +be created or is not writable, output is written to the standard error instead. +.SH INSTALLATION +If you want access to the names, help text and values for the roomtemp +performance metrics, do the following as root: +.PP +.ft CW +.nf +.in +0.5i +# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp +# ./Install +.in +.fi +.ft 1 +.PP +If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root: +.PP +.ft CW +.nf +.in +0.5i +# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp +# ./Remove +.in +.fi +.ft 1 +.PP +.B pmdaroomtemp +is launched by +.BR pmcd (1) +and should never be executed directly. +The Install and Remove scripts notify +.BR pmcd (1) +when the agent is installed or removed. +.SH FILES +.PD 0 +.TP 10 +.B $PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH +command line options used to launch +.B pmdaroomtemp +.TP 10 +.B $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp/help +default help text file for the roomtemp metrics +.TP 10 +.B $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp/Install +installation script for the +.B pmdaroomtemp +agent +.TP 10 +.B $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/roomtemp/Remove +undo installation script for the +.B pmdaroomtemp +agent +.TP 10 +.B $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/roomtemp.log +default log file for error messages and other information from +.B pmdaroomtemp +.PD +.SH "PCP ENVIRONMENT" +Environment variables with the prefix +.B PCP_ +are used to parameterize the file and directory names +used by PCP. +On each installation, the file +.I /etc/pcp.conf +contains the local values for these variables. +The +.B $PCP_CONF +variable may be used to specify an alternative +configuration file, +as described in +.BR pcp.conf (5). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR PCPIntro (1), +.BR pmcd (1), +.BR pcp.conf (5) +and +.BR pcp.env (5). |
