SYNOPSIS

9       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmlogger_merge [-fNV] [input-basename ... output-name]

DESCRIPTION

12       pmlogger_merge  is  a  helper  script that is used by pmlogger_daily(1)
13       when merging all of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archives for a  sin‐
14       gle host on a single day into a combined PCP archive.
15
16       pmlogger_merge  is a wrapper script for pmlogextract(1) that merges all
17       of the archive logs matching the input-basename arguments, and  creates
18       a new archive using output-name as the base name for the physical files
19       that constitute an archive log.  The input-basename arguments may  con‐
20       tain meta characters in the style of sh(1).
21
22       If specified, the -f option causes all of the input files to be removed
23       once the output archive has been created.
24
25       Using -N option runs pmlogger_merge in a ``show  me''  or  ``dry  run''
26       mode  where  the  tasks  that  would  be performed are reported, but no
27       changes are made.  This is typically used for debugging in  combination
28       with one (verbose) or two (very verbose) -V options.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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