34 Fetch and print the next name component of the direct decendents of
35 metric-name in the PMNS, reporting for each if it is a leaf node or a
37 Most useful for PMDAs that support dynamic metrics in the PMNS.
43 Close the pipe to a daemon PMDA or dlclose(3) a DSO PMDA. dbpmda does not
44 exit, allowing another PMDA to be opened.
49 debug flag [ flag ... ] (flag is decimal or symbolic name)
51 Specify which debugging flags should be active (see pmdbg(1)). Flags may
52 be specified as integers or by name, with multiple flags separated by
53 white space. All flags may be selected or deselected if 'all' or 'none' is
54 specified. The current setting is displayed by the status command.
61 Print out the meta data description for the 'metric'. The metric may be
62 specified by name, or as a PMID of the form N, N.N or N.N.N.
66 fetch metric [ metric ... ]
68 Fetch metrics from the PMDA. The metrics may be specified as a list of
69 metric names, or PMIDs of the form N, N.N or N.N.N.
75 Before doing a fetch, get the descriptor so that the result of a fetch
76 can be printed out correctly.
80 instance indom# [ number | name | "name" ]
82 List the instances in 'indom'. The list may be restricted to a specific
83 instance 'name' or 'number'.
89 Print the name of the metric with PMID pmid#. The pmid# syntax follows
90 the source PMNS syntax, namely 3 numbers separated by '.' to encode
91 the domain, cluster and item components of the PMID, e.g.

99 Unload the current Name Space and load up the given Name Space.
100 If unsuccessful then will try to reload the previous Name Space.
104 open dso dsoname init_routine [ domain# ]
105 open pipe execname [ arg ... ]
108 Open a PMDA as either a DSO, via UNIX domain socket (named pipe), or as a
109 daemon (connected with a pipe). The 'dsoname' and 'execname' fields are
110 the path to the PMDA shared object file or executable. The 'sockname'
111 field is the path of a named pipe where a PMDA is listening for connections.
112 The arguments to this command are similar to a line in the pmcd.conf file.
118 Print the PMID for the named metric

123 profile indom# [ all | none ]
124 profile indom# [ add | delete ] number
126 For the instance domain specified, the profile may be changed to include
127 'all' instances, no instances, add an instance or delete an instance.
133 Exit dbpmda. This also closes any open PMDAs.
139 Display the state of dbpmda, including which PMDA is connected, which
140 pmDebug flags are set, and the current profile.
146 Store the value (int, real or string) into the 'metric'. The metric may be
147 specified by name or as a PMID with the format N, N.N, N.N.N. The value to
148 be stored must be enclosed in quotes. Unlike the other commands, a store
149 must request a metric description and fetch the metric to determine how to
150 interpret the value, and to allocate the PDU for transmitting the value,
151 respectively. The current profile will be used.
158 Retrieve the help text for the 'metric' or 'indom' from the PMDA. The one
159 line message is shown between '[' and ']' with the long message on the next
160 line. To get the help text for an instance domain requires the word
161 ``indom'' before the indom number
167 Report the response time of the PMDA when sending and receiving PDUs.

173 Fetch and print all of the decendent metric names below metric-name

188 must be closed by the user when no longer required.
