SYNOPSIS

9       collectl2pcp [-F] [-v] [-?]  file [file ...]  archive
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       collectl2pcp  reads  raw  collectl(1) data from each file and creates a
14       new PCP archive with basename archive.  Each input file may be  gzipped
15       (with  .gz  suffix).   The  PCP archive and at least one input file are
16       required arguments.
17
18       The options to collectl2pcp are as follows.
19
20       -F     Overwrite archive (and the index and meta files) if  it  already
21              exists.
22
23       -v     Report progress and errors verbosely.  This also reports a count
24              of unsupported metric data in  the  collectl(1)  input  file(s),
25              which is normally silently skipped.
26
27       file [file ...]
28              These  are  the  collectl(1)  input  files.  If more than one is
29              given, they must contain data for the same host and be given  in
30              time-stamp  chronological  order on the command line.  Note that
31              when collectl(1) is run as a service, it normally creates  files
32              with  date  based  names  that  will  sort chronologically (e.g.
33              /var/log/collectl/*.gz will be sorted correctly).
34

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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