MySQL Shell Script for GC Logs
Hi,

I have a strange situation here, I want to archive gc.logs file, generated by a java application, the strange thing about gc.log file is is doesn't have any time/date stamp appended to it unlike other logs (catalina/access/error) and one more strange thing is when ever the application is restarted, the gc.logs are wiped out, now my requirement is I want to archive these gc.logs file on daily basis or if more frequently hourly basis. I have the script to archive the file based on the file name (for ex date appended to it) but how to archive gc.log file and based on what?

java gc files are created as gc.logs and if archive it for today, then the other day when the cron job will run it will overwrite the file.

Please suggest some script for this, one idea is to append the date to this file, but I am not able to understand how to do it.

Any help in this regards is appreciated.

Neeryan.

collectl2pcp

COLLECTL2PCP(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   COLLECTL2PCP(1)

NAME

       collectl2pcp - import collectl data to a PCP archive

SYNOPSIS

       collectl2pcp [-F] [-v] [-?]  file [file ...]  archive

DESCRIPTION

       collectl2pcp reads raw collectl(1) data from each file and creates a new PCP archive with basename archive.  Each input file may be gzipped
       (with .gz suffix).  The PCP archive and at least one input file are required arguments.

       The options to collectl2pcp are as follows.

       -F     Overwrite archive (and the index and meta files) if it already exists.

       -v     Report progress and errors verbosely.  This also reports a count of unsupported metric data in the collectl(1) input file(s),  which
	      is normally silently skipped.

       file [file ...]
	      These  are  the  collectl(1) input files.  If more than one is given, they must contain data for the same host and be given in time-
	      stamp chronological order on the command line.  Note that when collectl(1) is run as a service, it normally creates files with  date
	      based names that will sort chronologically (e.g. /var/log/collectl/*.gz will be sorted correctly).

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       Environment  variables  with  the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation, the
       file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative	configura-
       tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).

SEE ALSO

       collectl(1), pmcollectl(1), PCPIntro(1), LOGIMPORT(3), pcp.conf(5), pcp.env(5) and pmns(5).
