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
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).
