NAME

6       collectl2pcp - import collectl data to a PCP archive
7

SYNOPSIS

9       collectl2pcp [-fv?]  file [file ...]  archive
10

DESCRIPTION

12       collectl2pcp  reads  raw  collectl(1) data from each file and creates a
13       new PCP archive with basename archive.  Each input file may be  gzipped
14       (with  .gz  suffix).   The  PCP archive and at least one input file are
15       required arguments.
16

OPTIONS

18       The available command line options are:
19
20       -f, --force
21            Overwrite archive (and the index and meta  files)  if  it  already
22            exists.
23
24       -v, --verbose
25            Report  progress  and errors verbosely.  This also reports a count
26            of unsupported metric data in the collectl(1) input file(s), which
27            is normally silently skipped.
28
29       -?, --help
30            Display usage message and exit.
31
32       file [file ...]
33            These are the collectl(1) input files.  If more than one is given,
34            they must contain data for the same host and  be  given  in  time-
35            stamp  chronological  order  on  the command line.  Note that when
36            collectl(1) is run as a service, it normally  creates  files  with
37            date   based   names   that   will   sort   chronologically  (e.g.
38            /var/log/collectl/*.gz will be sorted correctly).

PCP ENVIRONMENT

41       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
42       file  and  directory names used by PCP.  On each installation, the file
43       /etc/pcp.conf contains the  local  values  for  these  variables.   The
44       $PCP_CONF  variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
45       file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
46
47       For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see pmGetOptions(3).
