💖 PMDAGPSD 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for pmdagpsd — a Performance Co-Pilot situation, and yes it's giving satellite-navigation-but-make-it-metrics. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

pmdagpsd — the gpsd performance metrics domain agent, aka a PMDA 🛰️

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, pmdagpsd is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA, iykyk) and its whole personality is exporting values from the gpsd daemon. that's it. that's the job. it's the middleman between gpsd and your metrics, and honestly? iconic behavior. 👑

---

🎀 INSTALLATION 🎀

if you want access to the names and values for gpsd, do the following as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpsd
# ./Install

and if you want to undo the installation (no judgement, we've all been there 💅), do this as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpsd
# ./Remove

now the important part, bestie, do not skip this: pmdagpsd is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. like, ever. fr fr. 🙈

the Install and Remove scripts are the ones doing the communicating — they notify pmcd(1) when the agent gets installed or removed. so you don't have to go tell pmcd yourself, it's handled. 🫶

🦋 FILES 🦋

• $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpsd/Install — the installation script for the pmdagpsd agent ✨
• $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/gpsd/Remove — the undo-installation script for the pmdagpsd agent 💀
• $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/gpsd.log — the default log file where pmdagpsd drops its error messages, so if something's acting up, look here first 🔍

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• pmcd(1).

---

lowkey the whole page in one vibe check: install it with Install, uninstall it with Remove, never run it by hand, and let pmcd(1) be the one driving. that's the tea. 🍓

and that's a wrap, bestie 💜 this lil masterpiece comes to you courtesy of Performance Co-Pilot, version 7.2.2 — mwah, slay, go forth and monitor. 🧚✨
