PMDANEWS(1)

💖 PMDANEWS(1) — the Usenet news PMDA, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for pmdanews from Performance Co-Pilot — yes, the version 7.2.2 girly 💅 — and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am, except everything I say is facts. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pmdanews — a sample Usenet news performance metrics domain agent (PMDA). it's giving "demo model," not "final boss." 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pmdanews is literally an example Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA), and what it does is export metric values related to a set of newsgroups. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the little guy who shows you how a PMDA is supposed to be built. iconic honestly. 🌈

---

✨ INSTALLATION ✨

if you want access to the names and values for the news performance metrics, do this as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/news
# ./Install

and if you want to undo the installation, do this as root:

# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/news
# ./Remove

lowkey important: pmdanews is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. do not run it yourself. that's not the move. 🚫

the Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed or removed, so it always knows what's up. 🫶
