As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (seePMDA(3)),pmdaStoreis the generic callback for storing a value into a metric.pmdaStoreis usually a no-op as, by default, no metrics can be altered. Also, the implementation of a store call‐ back which does permit metrics to be altered bypmstore(1) is very application dependent.
The PMDA must be usingPMDA_INTERFACE_2or later, as specified in the call topmdaDSO(3) orpmdaDaemon(3).
