NAME         top

       pmdanetfilter  -  Linux  netfilter IP connection tracking performance
       metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmdanetfilter is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which
       exports metric values from the IP connection tracking module in the
       Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION         top

       Install the netfilter PMDA by using the Install script as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Install

       To uninstall, do the following as root:

             # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/netfilter
             # ./Remove

       pmdanetfilter 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.

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       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).
