# pmdauwsgi(1)

uwsgi performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

## NAME

**pmdauwsgi** - uwsgi performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

## DESCRIPTION

**pmdauwsgi** is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports performance metrics from uwsgi. uWSGI is often used in conjunction with web servers such Nginx, which offer direct support for uWSGI's native uwsgi protocol, to serve Python web applications such as Django.

**pmdauwsgi** reads an optional ini-style configuration file:

-

  -

  *`$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR`/uwsgi/uwsgi.conf*

This file has a \[pmda\] section

**\[pmda\]**

- **host = (*127.0.0.1*)**

  Connect uwsgi stats server on the given hostname.

- **port = (*9051*)**

  Connect to the uwsgi stats server on the given port.

## INSTALLATION

This PMDA requires that uwsgi is running on the local host with a uwsgi stats server running on TCP port 9051 (by default) and stats-http enabled.

Install the uwsgi PMDA by using the Install script as root:

      \# cd $PCP\_PMDAS\_DIR/uwsgi\
       \# ./Install

To uninstall, do the following as root:

      \# cd $PCP\_PMDAS\_DIR/uwsgi\
       \# ./Remove

**pmdauwsgi** is launched by [*pmcd*(1)](/pmcd/1.md) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify [*pmcd*(1)](/pmcd/1.md) when the agent is installed or removed.

## FILES

- **$PCP\_PMDAS\_DIR/uwsgi/Install**

  installation script for the **pmdauwsgi** agent

- **$PCP\_PMDAS\_DIR/uwsgi/Remove**

  undo installation script for the **pmdauwsgi** agent

- **$PCP\_LOG\_DIR/pmcd/uwsgi.log**

  default log file for error messages from **pmdauwsgi**

- **$PCP\_SYSCONF\_DIR/uwsgi/uwsgi.conf**

  optional configuration file for **pmdauwsgi** agent

## PCP ENVIRONMENT

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)](/pcp.conf/5.md).
