pmdanetfilter - Linux netfilter IP connection tracking performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

pmdanetfilter is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the IP connection tracking module in the Linux kernel.

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

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
# ./Install

To uninstall, the following must be done as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
# ./Remove

pmdanetfilter 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.

Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP.

The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
