PMDAMSSQL(1) General Commands Manual PMDAMSSQL(1)
pmdamssql - Microsoft SQL Server database PMDA
pmdamssql is a Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) Performance Metrics
Domain Agent (PMDA) which extracts live performance data from a
running Microsoft SQL Server database server.
Firstly, pmdamssql requires installation of these support
packages:
mssql-server
The primary Microsoft SQL Server database package.
msodbcsql18, msodbcsql17 or msodbcsql
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC bindings.
pyodbc
General Python ODBC module with Microsoft SQL Server support
enabled.
Next, pmdamssql reads an optional ini-style configuration file:
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql/mssql.conf
This file currently allows for two sections, one for configuring
the library that connects to SQL server, the other for
authenticating with SQL server.
[connection] section specifies values for the following settings
(their default values are shown in parenthesis):
driver ({ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server})
ODBC driver string.
server (tcp:localhost)
SQL Server socket connection string.
timeout (2)
Connection timeout setting, in seconds.
[authentication] section specifies values for the two supported
modes of authentication with SQL Server.
The default is to use SQL Server authentication, which requires a
username and password to be provided. These are the following
configuration settings (their default values are shown in
parenthesis):
username (pcp)
Username to connect to the database.
password (empty)
Password to connect to the database.
Note that if a SQL Server Assessments API configuration file is
found at /var/opt/mssql/secrets/assessment, then pmdamssql reads
the username and password from that file preferentially. The
format is simply a two line text file, the first containing the
username and the second the password.
The second option is Windows authentication mode, where logins
are created in SQL Server that are not based on operating system
user accounts.
trusted (false)
Set to true to use Windows authentication when connecting
to the database.
This is a Kerberos-style connection and credentials must be
available before the PMDA is started (see kinit(1) for further
details).
To install, the following must be done as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql
# ./Install
To uninstall, the following must be done as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql
# ./Remove
pmdamssql 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.
pmdamssql will automatically attempt to reconnect to the SQL
Server if its connection is lost - e.g. if the SQL Server service
is restarted.
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql/mssql.conf
configuration file for the pmdamssql agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql/Install
installation script for the pmdamssql agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mssql/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdamssql agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/mssql.log
default log file for messages from the pmdamssql agent
Note that the usual/default value for $PCP_PMDAS_DIR is
/var/lib/pcp/pmdas and the default for $PCP_LOG_DIR is
/var/log/pcp but these settings are platform dependent.
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).
PCPIntro(1), kinit(1) and pmcd(1).
