PMWEBTIMERREGISTER(3) Library Functions Manual PMWEBTIMERREGISTER(3)
pmWebTimerRegister, pmWebTimerRelease,
pmWebTimerSetMetricRegistry - thread-safe timer list management
#include <pcp/pmwebapi.h>
typedef void (*pmWebTimerCallBack)(void *data);
int pmWebTimerRegister(pmWebTimerCallBack callback, void *data);
int pmWebTimerRelease(int seq);
int pmWebTimerSetMetricRegistry(struct mmv_registry *registry);

The pmWebTimerRegister and related API functions provide a conve‐
nient thread-safe API for applications to manage a list of timer
driven callbacks. On the first call to pmWebTimerRegister or
pmWebTimerSetMetricRegistry, an internal timer is set up and ini‐
tialized to fire every 1.0 seconds. Each time the timer fires,
all currently registered callback functions will be called seri‐
ally with the opaque data pointer that was supplied when each
function was registered. The pmWebTimerCallBack typedef provides
a suitable callback function prototype.
All registered callback functions should be non-blocking and exe‐
cute quickly and synchronously. Typical callback functions in‐
clude refreshing instrumentation, calculating and updating per‐
formance metric values, periodic garbage collection and any other
local function that requires regular execution.
The pmWebTimerSetMetricRegistry function provides a convenient
way for an application to pass in a pointer to an libpcp_mmv(3)
registry that has been suitably initialized by the calling appli‐
cation. This registry will be used to dynamically create six
server resource metrics named NAME.mem.datasz, NAME.mem.maxrss,
NAME.cpu.total, NAME.cpu.sys, NAME.cpu.user and NAME.pid, where
NAME is the root PCP PMNS(5) name set up by the calling applica‐
tion. These metrics should be reasonably self explanatory; they
provide resource usage metrics from the calling application /
server and use getrusage(2), times(2) and getpid(2).
The pmWebTimerRegister function returns a positive integer handle
that may be subsequently used in a call to pmWebTimerRelease to
remove a timer from the internal timer list. When a timer is re‐
moved with a call to pmWebTimerRelease, the internal data struc‐
tures are freed. The caller however, is responsible for freeing
the associated data (since it may or may not be dynamically allo‐
cated).
On failure a negative PMAPI error code is returned in all cases.
pmproxy(1), mmv_stats_registry(3), PMAPI(3) and PMWEBAPI(3).
