PMIWRITE(3) Library Functions ManualPMIWRITE(3)pmiWrite- flush data to a LOGIMPORT archive
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>#include <pcp/import.h>int pmiWrite(intsec, intusec);cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp
use PCP::LogImport;pmiWrite($sec, $usec);
As part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (seeLOGIMPORT(3)),pmiWriteforces accumulated data values out to the PCP archive. The data values and associated metadata have previously been built up using calls topmiAddMetric(3),pmiAddInstance(3),pmiPutValue(3) andpmiPutValueHandle(3). The current set of data values and any new metadata is written to the archive with a timestamp ofsec andusec in the source time‐ zone of the archive, seepmiSetTimezone(3).
pmiWritereturns zero on success else a negative value that can be turned into an error message by callingpmiErrStr(3).
LOGIMPORT(3),pmiAddInstance(3),pmiAddMetric(3),pmiErrStr(3),pmiPutValue(3),pmiPutValueHandle(3),pmiPutText(3),pmiPutLabel(3) andpmiSetTimezone(3).
