pmLookupInDomArchive - translate an instance name into an instance
identifier
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmLookupInDomArchive(pmInDom
indom, const char *
name);
cc ... -lpcp
Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface
(PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archive logs,
pmLookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain
metadata for the instance domain
indom, locate the first instance with
the external identification given by
name, and return the internal
instance identifier.
This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine
pmLookupInDom.
Only the leading non-space characters of
name will be used to identify
the instance.
The value for the instance domain
indom is typically extracted from a
pmDesc structure, following a call to
pmLookupDesc(3) for a
particular performance metric.
pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on
success.
