       If you want access to the names and values for the rsyslog performance metrics, do the following as root:

           #cd$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog#./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

           #cd$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/rsyslog#./Removepmdarsyslog  is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts
       notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed or removed.

       In order to use this agent, rsyslog stats gathering must be enabled.  This is done by adding the lines:

           module(load="impstats"interval="10"severity="7")if$syslogtagcontains'rsyslogd-pstats'then{action(name="pstats-for-pcp"type="ompipe"template="RSYSLOG_FileFormat"pipe="/var/log/pcp/rsyslog/stats")stop}

       to your rsyslog.conf(5) configuration file after installing the PMDA.

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used  by
       PCP.  On  each  installation,  the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The
       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
