pmGetDerivedControl, pmSetDerivedControl - get and set controls for derived metrics
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> int pmGetDerivedControl(int what, int *valuep); int pmSetDerivedControl(int what, int value); cc ... -lpcp
These routines may be used to influence the behaviour of the derived metric services that are activated for global derived metrics using pmRegisterDerived(3), pmRegisterDerivedMetric(3) and pmLoadDerivedConfig(3), or per-context derived metrics using pmAddDerived(3) and pmAddDerivedMetric(3). The what argument selects a control, the value argument provides a value for pmSetDerivedControl and the valuep argument is used to return the value for pmGetDerivedControl. The what argument has one of the following values: PCP_DERIVED_GLOBAL_LIMIT The maximum number of global derived metrics that may be defined. The value -1 indicates no limit. PCP_DERIVED_CONTEXT_LIMIT The maximum number of per-context derived metrics that may be defined. The value -1 indicates no limit. PCP_DERIVED_DEBUG_SYNTAX Debug diagnostics during parsing of derived metric expression. The value 1 enables the diagnostics, the value 0 disables them. PCP_DERIVED_DEBUG_SEMANTICS Debug diagnostics for semantic checks during the binding of metrics in the derived metric expression to the available metrics in a new PMAPI context. The value 1 enables the diagnostics, the value 0 disables them. PCP_DERIVED_DEBUG_EVAL Debug diagnostics when derived metrics are used in PMAPI operations like pmFetch(3), pmGetChildren(3), pmGetChildrenStatus(3), pmLookupDesc(3), pmLookupName(3), pmNameAll(3), pmNameID(3) and pmTraversePMNS(3).
Both routines return 0 on success, else a value less than 0 that can be decoded using pmErrStr(3).
