NAME¶
pmiPutResult - add a data record to a LOGIMPORT archive
C SYNOPSIS¶
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/impl.h>
#include <pcp/import.h>
int pmiPutResult(const pmResult *
result);
cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp
DESCRIPTION¶
As part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see
LOGIMPORT(3)),
pmiPutResult provides an interface for developers familiar with the
internal PCP data structures to create output archives directly.
By building the
pmResult data structure directly, then calling
pmiPutResult the developer avoids calls to
pmiPutValue(3) and/or
pmiPutValueHandle(3) followed by a call to
pmiWrite(3) for each
record written to the archive.
Any metrics and instances appearing in the
result must have been defined
by prior calls to
pmiAddMetric(3) and
pmiAddInstance(3).
pmiPutResult will arrange for any new metadata (metrics and/or instance
domain changes) covered by
result to be also written to the PCP
archive.
Because of the complexity of the
pmResult data structure, this routine is
not available in the Perl interface to the LOGIMPORT services.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
pmiPutResult returns zero on success else a negative value that can be
turned into an error message by calling
pmiErrStr(3).
