PMDELPROFILE(3) Library Functions Manual PMDELPROFILE(3)
pmDelProfile - delete instance(s) from the current PMAPI instance
profile
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmDelProfile(pmInDom indom, int numinst, int *instlist);
cc ... -lpcp
The set of instances for performance metrics returned from a
pmFetch(3) call may be filtered or restricted using an instance
profile. There is one instance profile for each context the ap‐
plication creates at the Performance Metrics Application Program‐
ming Interface (PMAPI), and each instance profile may include in‐
stances from one or more instance domains (see pmLookupDesc(3)).
pmDelProfile may be used to delete instance specifications from
the instance profile of the current PMAPI context.
In the simplest variant, the list of instances identified by the
instlist argument for the indom instance domain are removed from
the instance profile. The list of instance identifiers contains
numinst values.
The indom value would normally be extracted from a call to
pmLookupDesc(3) for a particular performance metric, and the in‐
stances in instlist would typically be determined by calls to
pmGetInDom(3) or pmLookupInDom(3).
If indom equals PM_INDOM_NULL and numinst is zero, then all in‐
stance domains are selected for deletion. If instlist is NULL,
then all instances in the selected domain(s) are removed from the
profile.
To disable all available instances in all domains, use pmDelPro‐
file(PM_INDOM_NULL, 0, NULL). This is the only situation in which
indom may be PM_INDOM_NULL.
It is possible to delete non-existent instance domains and non-ex‐
istent instances from an instance profile. None of the routines
that use the instance profile will ever issue an error if you do
this. The cost of checking, when checking is possible, outweighs
any benefits.
