PMDA Initialisation Failed

[pcpuser001]

Hi All,
while exploring pcp
in PMDAMMV.log we are getting error.

Log for pmdammv on GFGPH32.egi.ericsson.com started Tue Aug 11 14:25:32 2015

[Tue Aug 11 14:25:42] pmdammv(24263) Warning: pduread: timeout (after 10.000 sec) while attempting to read 12 bytes out of 12 in HDR on fd=0
[Tue Aug 11 14:25:42] pmdammv(24263) Critical: __pmdaSetupPDU: PMDA pmdammv getting creds: Timeout waiting for a response from PMCD
[Tue Aug 11 14:25:42] pmdammv(24263) Error: PMDA Initialisation Failed

Let me know how to overcome this error.

Regards,

This looks like you've run pmdammv directly ... if this is the case, that is not the right way to invoke a PMDA.

To get the mmv (or in general the foo) PMDA working you need ...

cd /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/foo

./Install

If this diagnosis is not correct, please send us

• output from the pcp(1) command
• contents of /etc/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.conf
• contents of /var/log/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.log
