SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       pmlogger_rewrite is a helper script that is used  by  pmlogger_daily(1)
14       when  rewriting Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archives.  Rewriting is usu‐
15       ally required to accommodate evolutionary changes in  metadata  so  old
16       archives can be updated and then merged with current archives.
17
18       pmlogger_rewrite  is  a  wrapper  script  for pmlogrewrite(1) that will
19       potentially rewrite all of the archive logs matching the archive  argu‐
20       ments.  Each archive argument may be a PCP archive file name, the base‐
21       name for the files in a PCP archive, or a directory (in which case  all
22       subordinate PCP archives are found by recursive descent).
23
24       pmlogrewrite  (1)  is  run  with the -i option so rewiting is done ``in
25       place'' and the -q option so  if  no  rewriting  is  required  then  no
26       changes are made to the archive files.
27
28       Using  -N  option runs pmlogger_rewrite in a ``show me'' or ``dry run''
29       mode where the tasks that would  be  performed  are  reported,  but  no
30       changes  are made.  This is typically used for debugging in combination
31       with one (verbose) or two (very verbose) -V options.
32
33       The following options are passed through to pmlogrewrite: -c,  -d,  -s,
34       -v and -w.  Refer to pmlogrewrite(1) for the meaning of these options.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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