13 pmlogger_merge is a helper script that is used by pmlogger_daily(1)
14 when merging all of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archives for a sin‐
15 gle host on a single day into a combined PCP archive.
16
17 pmlogger_merge is a wrapper script for pmlogextract(1) that merges all
18 of the archive logs matching the input-basename arguments, and creates
19 a new archive using output-name as the base name for the physical files
20 that constitute an archive log. The input-basename arguments may con‐
21 tain meta characters in the style of sh(1).
22
24 The available command line options are:
25
26 -f, --force
27 This option causes all of the input files to be removed once the
28 output archive has been created.
29
30 -N, --showme
31 Runs pmlogger_merge in a ``show me'' or ``dry run'' mode where the
32 tasks that would be performed are reported, but no changes are
33 made. This is typically used for debugging in combination with
34 one (verbose) or two (very verbose) -V options.
35
36 -V, --verbose
37 Increase verbosity in the output progress report.
38
39 -?, --help
40 Display usage message and exit.

43 Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
44 file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
45 /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
46 $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
47 file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
