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.

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).
