NAME         top

       pmdanfsclient - NFS client statistics performance metrics domain
       agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmdanfsclient is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which
       exports metric values from the /proc/self/mountstats interface to
       provide information on NFS mounts.

INSTALLATION         top

       Install the nfsclient PMDA by using the Install script as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nfsclient
           # ./Install

       To uninstall, the following must be done as root:

           # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/nfsclient
           # ./Remove

       pmdanfsclient 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 ENVIRONMENT         top

       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).
