Re: [pcp] New perfevent PMDA

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Oh, one other thing Joe - one of the areas Lukas is looking into as a 
pmdapapi enhancement is being able to configure access to the metrics
via ACL.  There's support in libpcp/src/access.c for user/group based
ACLs that could help here (pmcd & pmlogger provide ACLs using that) -
Joe, since you already have a config file, adding an [access] section
and allowing fine-grained control on who can access the metrics would
be a good feature to have.  For the initial version, just documenting
the current access model would be fine by me (in both PMDAs cases).

cheers.
