The pmSearchSetup and related API functions prepare an application
for accessing the fast and scalable metric, instance and instance
domain, full-text capable, searching functionality of the Perfor‐
mance Co-Pilot (PCP).
This functionality is provided trough asynchronous APIs, which
function in event-driven fashion. The interface described here
prepare a given search module which associates callback routines
with certain asynchronous events that occur as part of servicing
search requests.
As a general pattern, all interfaces in these APIs that need to
invoke callbacks provided by the calling program will take an
opaque (void * pointer) arg parameter. This pointer will be
passed through unchanged and is typically used to access a data
structure maintaining state within the calling program.
Where asynchronous setup is required by pmSearchSetup its comple‐
tion will be indicated through use of the on_setup callback, which
is part of the passed in pmSearchModule structure. This structure
also provides for custom diagnostics handling, through the on_info
callback. These are self-explanatory, see <pcp/pmwebapi.h> for ex‐
act calling conventions.
The callbacks registered by pmSearchSetup to handle events are as
follows:
pmSearchTextResultCallBack on_text_result
Callback is called once for each item of search result that
matches a given query passed by pmSearchTextInDom(3),
pmSearchTextQuery(3), pmSearchTextSuggest(3).
pmSearchMetricsCallBack on_metrics
Callback is called for results of a call to pmSearchInfo(3).
pmSearchDoneCallBack on_done
On completion of all asynchronous interfaces that return suc‐
cess (zero return code), this callback will be called. It
provides a status code indicating overall success (zero) or
failure (negative PMAPI code) of the operation.
The helper functions pmSearchSetSlots (key-value server), pm‐
SearchSetEventLoop (libuv), pmSearchSetConfiguration (configura‐
tion file) and pmSearchSetMetricRegistry (MMV instrumentation) in‐
terfaces provide a mechanism for passing in state for each of the
associated subsystems.
Finally, a call to pmSearchClose is used to end services available
from a search module previously established through pmSearchSetup.
Within PCP, the pmproxy(1) and pmsearch(1) utilities are the pri‐
mary users of the interfaces, providing REST API and command line
search services respectively.
Where these functions return a status code, this is always zero on
success. On failure a negative PMAPI error code is returned.
