NAME
       pmdards - Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) for RDS

DESCRIPTION
       The RDS PMDA is a Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) module that collects and
       exports performance statistics for Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS).

INSTALLATION
       To install the RDS PMDA, follow these steps:
              # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rds
              # ./Install

       To verify that the PMDA is running:
              $ pminfo -t rds


USAGE
       To query RDS metrics, use the following command:
              $ pminfo rds
       To retrieve specific metric values:
              $ pmval rds.packet.tx.send_queued

PCP ENVIRONMENT
       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).
