pmda Install should not start pmlogger
Last modified: 2015-08-22 12:34:12 EDT
A Makepkgs-built pcp git build (few days old) does a /usr/share/pcp/lib/pcp start as a part of the pmdas/json/Install. In turn this opines: Starting pmcd ... /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger: Warning: Performance Co-Pilot archive logger(s) not permanently enabled. To enable pmlogger, run the following as root: # /usr/bin/systemctl enable pmlogger.service Starting pmlogger ... and indeed a pmlogger process is started. But there is no need for a pmlogger on this machine. Perhaps the admin prefers pmmgr. Perhaps there is no need for local logging at all. The pmda-install operation should at most suggest pmlogger, definitely not insist. If it wants to restart pmcd (due to pmda forced_restart=true), it should stick to restarting pmcd.
This is unanticipated fallout (regression) from BZ 1185755 & related bugs. Fix should be relatively straight forward.
