PMNSDEL(1) General Commands Manual PMNSDEL(1)
pmnsdel - delete a subtree of names from the Performance Co-Pilot
PMNS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnsdel [-?] [-n namespace] metricpath [...]
pmnsdel removes subtrees of names from a Performance Metrics Name
Space (PMNS), as used by the components of the Performance Co-
Pilot (PCP).
Normally pmnsdel operates on the default Performance Metrics Name
Space (PMNS), however if the -n option is specified an alternative
namespace is used from the file namespace.
The default PMNS is found in the file $PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns/root
unless the environment variable PMNS_DEFAULT is set, in which case
the value is assumed to be the pathname to the file containing the
default PMNS.
The metric names to be deleted are all those for which one of the
metricpath arguments is a prefix in the PMNS, see PMNS(5).
All of the files defining the PMNS must be located within the
directory that contains the root of the PMNS, and this would
typically be $PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns for the default PMNS, and this
would typically imply running pmnsdel as root.
Provided some initial integrity checks are satisfied, pmnsdel will
update the necessary PMNS files. Should an error be encountered
the original namespace is restored. Note that any PMNS files that
are no longer referenced by the modified namespace will not be
removed, even though their contents are not part of the new
namespace.
The available command line options are:
-n pmnsfile, --namespace=pmnsfile
Load an alternative Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS(5))
from the file pmnsfile.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
Once the writing of the new namespace file has begun, the signals
SIGINT, SIGHUP and SIGTERM will be ignored to protect the
integrity of the new files.
$PCP_VAR_DIR/pmns/root
the default PMNS, when the environment variable PMNS_DEFAULT
is unset
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).
pmnsadd(1), pmnsmerge(1), pcp.conf(5), pcp.env(5) and PMNS(5).
