PMDADENKI(1)             General Commands Manual            PMDADENKI(1)

NAME         top

       pmdadenki - metrics related to the systems electrical consumption

SYNOPSIS         top

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/denki/pmdadenki [-d domain] [-l logfile]

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmdadenki is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which
       extracts electricity related performance metrics.

       Currently, metrics from RAPL (on Intel cpus) and battery charge
       values are available, if supported by the hardware.

       -l Location of the log file.  By default, a log file named
       denki.log is written in the current directory of pmcd(1) when
       pmdadenki is started, i.e.  $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd.  If the log file
       cannot be created or is not writable, output is written to the
       standard error instead.

INSTALLATION         top

       The denki PMDA is installed and available by default on Linux.
       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/denki
            # ./Remove

       If you want to establish access to the names, help text and
       values for the denki metrics once more, after removal, do the
       following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/denki
            # ./Install

       pmdadenki 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).
