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).
