The pmSeriesSetup and related API functions prepare an applica‐
tion for accessing the fast, scalable time series querying func‐
tionality of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP).
This functionality is provided through asynchronous APIs, which
function in an event-driven fashion. The interfaces described
here prepare a given time series module which associates callback
routines with certain asynchronous events that occur as part of
servicing time series requests.
As a general pattern, all interfaces in these APIs that need to
invoke callbacks provided by the calling program will take an
opaque (void * pointer) parameter, arg. This pointer will be
passed through unchanged and is typically used to access a data
structure maintaining state within the calling program.
Where asynchronous setup is required by pmSeriesSetup its comple‐
tion will be indicated through use of the on_setup callback,
which is part of the passed in pmSeriesModule structure. This
structure also provides for custom diagnostics handling, through
the on_info callback. These are self-explanatory, see <pcp/pmwe‐
bapi.h> for exact calling conventions.
The callbacks registered by pmSeriesSetup to handle events are as
follows:
pmSeriesMatchCallBack on_match
When a time series query discovers time series identifiers
that match the query, the on_match callback will be called
once for every series identifier (SID). The SID is a unique
40-byte ASCII representation of a SHA hash.
pmSeriesDescCallBack on_desc
Metric descriptor requests from pmSeriesDescs(1) will invoke
this callback once for each series identifier.
pmSeriesInstCallBack on_inst
Instance identification callback - internal (numeric) and
external (string) instance identifiers, as well as time se‐
ries and source (host) SHA1 identifiers. Called once for
each instance. The associated series identifier is also
provided to the callback.
pmSeriesLabelCallBack on_labelmap
Provides metric labels (name and value mappings) for each
series identifier passed to pmSeriesLabels(1).
pmSeriesStringCallBack on_instance
Provides an instance name for a call to
pmSeriesInstances(1)- the callback is called once for each
instance name. The associated series identifier is also
provided to the callback.
pmSeriesStringCallBack on_context
Provides a context name for a call to pmSeriesSources(1)-
the callback is called once for each source (hostname or
archive). The associated source identifier is also provided
to the callback.
pmSeriesStringCallBack on_metric
Provides a metric name for a call to pmSeriesMetrics(1)- the
callback is called once for each metric name. The associat‐
ed series identifier is also provided to the callback.
pmSeriesStringCallBack on_label
Provides a label name for a call to pmSeriesLabels(1)- the
callback is called once for each label name. The associated
series identifier is also provided to the callback.
pmSeriesValueCallBack on_value
Calls to the pmSeriesQuery interface that provide a time
window may result in values being found for matching time
series. The on_value callback will be invoked once for each
time series value, also providing the sample timestamp (in
both string and binary form, as a time in nanoseconds since
the epoch). The associated series identifier is also pro‐
vided to the callback.
pmSeriesDoneCallBack on_done
On completion of all asynchronous interfaces that return
success (zero return code), this callback will be called.
It provides a status code indicating overall success (zero)
or failure (negative PMAPI code) of the operation.
The helper functions pmSeriesSetSlots (redis), pmSeriesSetEvent‐
Loop (libuv), pmSeriesSetConfiguration (configuration file) and
pmSeriesSetMetricRegistry (MMV instrumentation) interfaces pro‐
vide a mechanism for passing in state for each of the associated
subsystems.
Finally, a call to pmSeriesClose is used to end services avail‐
able from a series module previously established through pm‐
SeriesSetup.
Within PCP, the pmproxy(1) and pmseries(1) utilities are the pri‐
mary users of these interfaces, providing REST API and command
line time series query services respectively.
Where these functions return a status code, this is always zero
on success. On failure a negative PMAPI error code is returned.
