You can list the stores and samplers and usage hints for your LDMS 3.4 installation with (typically)
/usr/bin/ldms_list_plugins.sh
This will list the compiled and installed plugins and their options for use in the LDMS configuration language. This may include experimental plugins. Generally, production plugins will have a man page, for example to understand the meminfo plugin, try
man Plugin_meminfo
Unfortunately, the man pages may not be installed on your system or they may not yet be complete. If anything in the table below provokes a question, please send it to the ovis-help mailing list described elsewhere.

Production Sampler Plugins
Below is a summary of the plugins that can be considered production quality in release 3.4.4 for commodity Linux environments.
| name | metric set content |
|---|---|
| edac | memory error checking from /sys/devices/system/edac metrics |
| jobid | Currently running job id and user (requires loose cooperation from queuing system, e.g. slurm) |
| lnet_stats | /proc/sys/lnet/stats metrics, particularly memory |
| lustre2_client | Lustre client metrics |
| meminfo | /proc/meminfo values |
| procinterrupts | interrupt counters (very large datasets on many-core machines) |
| procnetdev | /proc/net tcp interface device counters (excludes rdma traffic/errors) |
| procnfs | nfs v3 client statistics (calls, bytes) |
| procstat | /proc/stat counters (includes cpu tick) |
| sysclassib | infiniband counters and rates (includes rdma traffic/errors) |
| vmstat | /proc/vmstat counters |
Production Store Plugins
| name | output format | notes |
|---|---|---|
| store_csv | CSV files | requires the size of metric sets of a given name (schema) be identical across all nodes. |
| store_flatfile | 1-metric files | narrow CSV file per metric with timestamp and source columns. Tolerates conflicting schema definitions. |
| strore_rabbitv3 | AMQP messages | feeds all metrics to single AMQP broker via librabbitmq 0.8. |
Vendor specific
Below is a summary of the plugins that can be considered production quality in release 3.4.4 for CLE6

| clock | ticker (tutorial/testing) |
| fptrans | floating point transmission test sets (testing) |
| generic_sampler | (tutorial/testing) |
| synthetic | generates synthetic waveform data sets (testing) |
Need TLC, but can work under some circumstances
| procdiskstats | ? |
| procsensors | temperatures sensor |
| sampler_atasmart | SMART counters from devices |
| lustre2_mds | |
| lustre2_oss |
Retiring if champion not self-identified
