PMDAHDB(1) General Commands Manual PMDAHDB(1)
pmdahdb - SAP HANA PMDA
pmdahdb is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports
metric values about an SAP HANA (High-performance ANalytic
Appliance) database, a multi-model database that stores data in
its memory instead of keeping it on a disk.
This PMDA can be used in scale-out scenarios. All metrics are
Host and Port aware. Host and Port are included in the instance
names (<host>.<port>.<instance>).
pmdahdb currently does not support Multitenant Database Container
(MDC) systems. The agent can only target a single database
container at the moment (this container can be a tenant database).
The hdb configuration is maintained with hdb.conf. Currently
there is only one hdb section that contains the SAP HANA
connection parameters. Quoted passwords are supported. For more
information about quoted passwords, see:
https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_HANA_ONE/102d9916bf77407ea3942fef93a47da8/61662e3032ad4f8dbdb5063a21a7d706.html#password-layout
Install the hdb PMDA by using the Install script as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb
# ./Install
To uninstall, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb
# ./Remove
pmdahdb 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.
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/hdb/hdb.conf
configuration file for the pmdahdb agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb/Install
installation script for the pmdahdb agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/hdb/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdahdb agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/hdb.log
default log file for error messages from pmdahdb
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).
PCPIntro(1), pmcd(1), pminfo(1) and pmpython(1).
