NAME

       pmdanutcracker - NutCracker performance metrics domain agent
       (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       This PMDA extracts performance data from NutCracker (or
       TwemProxy), a fast and lightweight proxy for memcached and Redis
       protocol.

INSTALLATION

       Configure to export statistics via its stats interface (see
       --stats-port option to the nutcracker server).  The corresponding
       configuration must be reflected in the
       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/nutcracker.conf file.

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
           # [ edit nutcracker.conf ]

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the
       nutcracker performance metrics by doing the following as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, the following must be done as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker
           # ./Remove

       pmdanutcracker is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be
       executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1)
       when the agent is installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/nutcracker.conf
           mandatory configuration file listing monitored memcache or
           Redis instances

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/Install
           installation script for the pmdanutcracker agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nutcracker/Remove
           undo installation script for the pmdanutcracker agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/nutcracker.log
           default log file for error messages from pmdanutcracker

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
       parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
       installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values
       for these variables.  The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to
       specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
       pcp.conf(5).
