+lustrecomm PMDA
+===============
+
+This PMDA collects statistics common to all lustre implementations,
+the statistics found in /proc/lustre and /proc/lnet
+
+Note:
+ This PMDA may be remade from source and hence requires IDO (or
+ more specifically a C compiler) to be installed.
+
+ Uses of make(1) may fail (without removing or clobbering files)
+ if the C compiler cannot be found. This is most likely to
+ happen when running the PMDA ./Install script.
+
+ The only remedial action is to install the C compiler, or
+ hand-craft changes to the Makefile.
+
+Metrics
+=======
+
+The file ./help contains descriptions for all of the metrics exported
+by this PMDA.
+
+Once the PMDA has been installed, the following command will list all
+the available metrics and their explanatory "help" text:
+
+ $ pminfo -fT lustrecomm
+
+Installation
+============
+
+ + # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lustrecomm
+
+ + Check that there is no clash in the Performance Metrics Domain
+ defined in ./domain.h and the other PMDAs currently in use (see
+ $PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH). If there is, edit ./domain.h to choose another
+ domain number.
+
+ + Then simply use
+
+ # ./Install
+
+ and choose both the "collector" and "monitor" installation
+ configuration options -- everything else is automated.
+
+De-installation
+===============
+
+ + Simply use
+
+ # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/lustrecomm
+ # ./Remove
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+ + After installing or restarting the agent, the PMCD log file
+ ($PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/pmcd.log) and the PMDA log file
+ ($PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/trivial.log) should be checked for any warnings
+ or errors.
