PMLOOKUPINDOMARCHIVE(3) Library Functions Manual PMLOOKUPINDOMARCHIVE(3)
pmLookupInDomArchive - translate an instance name into an instance
identifier
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmLookupInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, const char *name);
cc ... -lpcp
Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming
Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archives,
pmLookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance do‐
main metadata for the instance domain indom, locate the first in‐
stance with the external identification given by name, and return
the internal instance identifier.
This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI
routine pmLookupInDom.
Only the leading non-space characters of name will be used to
identify the instance.
The value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted
from a pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a
particular performance metric.
pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on
success.
PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
the current PMAPI context is not associated with a set of
archives
PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the
set of archives
PM_ERR_INST_LOG
the external instance name is not known for the instance
domain indom in the set of archives
PMAPI(3), pmGetConfig(3), pmGetInDomArchive(3), pmLookupDesc(3),
pmLookupInDom(3), pmNameInDomArchive(3), pcp.conf(5) and
pcp.env(5).
