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).
