20 pmrep is a customizable performance metrics reporting tool. Any avail‐
21 able performance metric, live or archived, system and/or application,
22 can be selected for reporting using one of the output alternatives
23 listed below together with applicable formatting options.
24
25 pmrep collects selected metric values through the facilities of the
26 Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), see PCPIntro(1). The metrics to be re‐
27 ported are specified on the command line, in configuration files, or
28 both. Metrics can be automatically converted and scaled using the PCP
29 facilities, either by default or by per-metric scaling specifications.
30 In addition to the existing metrics, derived metrics can be defined us‐
31 ing the arithmetic expressions described in pmRegisterDerived(3).
32
33 A wide range of metricsets (see below) is included by default, provid‐
34 ing reports on per-process details, NUMA performance, mimicking other
35 tools like sar(1) and more, see the pmrep configuration files in
36 $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmrep (typically /etc/pcp/pmrep) for details. Tab
37 completion for options, metrics, and metricsets is available for bash
38 and zsh.
39
40 Unless directed to another host by the -h option, pmrep will contact
41 the Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD, see pmcd(1)) on the lo‐
42 cal host.
43
44 The -a option causes pmrep to use the specified set of archive logs
45 rather than connecting to a PMCD. The -a and -h options are mutually
46 exclusive.
47
48 The -L option causes pmrep to use a local context to collect metrics
49 from DSO PMDAs (Performance Metrics Domain Agents, ``plugins'') on the
50 local host without PMCD. Only some metrics are available in this mode.
51 The -a, -h, and -L options are mutually exclusive.
52
53 The metrics of interest are named in the metricspec argument(s). If a
54 metricspec specifies a non-leaf node in the Performance Metrics Name
55 Space (PMNS), then pmrep will recursively descend the PMNS and report
56 on all leaf nodes (i.e., metrics) for that metricspec. Use pminfo(1)
57 to list all the metrics (PMNS lead nodes) and their descriptions.
58
59 A metricspec has three different forms. First, on the command line it
60 can start with a colon (``:'') to indicate a metricset to be read from
61 pmrep configuration files (see -c and pmrep.conf(5)), which may then
62 consist of any number of metrics. Second, a metricspec starting with
63 non-colon specifies a PMNS node as described above, optionally followed
64 by metric output formatting definitions. This so-called compact form
65 of a metricspec is defined as follows:
66
67 metric[,label[,instances[,unit/scale[,type[,width[,precision[,limit]]]]]]]
68
69 A valid PMNS node (metric) is mandatory. It may be followed by a text
70 label used with stdout output. The optional instances definition re‐
71 stricts csv and stdout reporting to the specified instances of the met‐
72 ric so non-matching instances will be filtered out (see -i). An op‐
73 tional unit/scale is applicable for dimension-compatible, non-string
74 metrics. See below for supported unit/scale specifications. By de‐
75 fault, cumulative counter metrics are converted to rates, an optional
76 type can be set to raw to disable this rate conversion. For stdout
77 output a numeric width can be used to set the width of the output col‐
78 umn for this metric. Too wide strings in the output will be truncated
79 to fit the column. A metric-specific precision can be provided for nu‐
80 meric non-integer output values. Lastly, a metric-specific limit can
81 be set for filtering out numeric values per the limit.
82
83 As a special case for metrics that are counters with time units
84 (nanoseconds to hours), the unit/scale can be used to change the de‐
85 fault reporting (for example, milliseconds / second) to normalize to
86 the range zero to one by setting this to sec (see also -y and -Y).
87
88 The following metricspec requests the metric kernel.all.sysfork to be
89 reported under the text label forks, converting to the metric default
90 rate count/s in an 8 wide column. Although the definitions in this
91 compact form are optional, they must always be provided in the order
92 specified above, thus the commas.
93
94 kernel.all.sysfork,forks,,,,8
95
96 The third form of a metricspec, verbose form, is described and valid
97 only in pmrep.conf(5).
98
99 Derived metrics are specified like regular PMNS leaf node metrics.
100
101 Options via environment values (see pmGetOptions(3)) override the cor‐
102 responding built-in default values (if any). Configuration file op‐
103 tions override the corresponding environment variables (if any). Com‐
104 mand line options override the corresponding configuration file options
105 (if any).
106
108 The available command line options are:
109
110 -0 precision, --precision-force=precision
111 Like -P but this option will override per-metric specifications.
112
113 -1, --dynamic-header
114 Print a new dynamically adjusted header every time changes in the
115 availability of metric and instance values occur. By default a
116 static header that never changes is printed once. See also -4,
117 -7, and -E.
118
119 -2, --overall-rank
120 Perform overall ranking of instances in archive. By default rank‐
121 ing (see -J) and reporting happens on each interval. With this
122 option all instances and values are ranked before a summary is re‐
123 ported. See pmlogsummary(1) for further archive summary reporting
124 alternatives, including averages and peak times for values.
125
126 -3, --overall-rank-alt
127 Like -2 but print metric instances in pmrep metricspec format, to
128 allow easily selecting the instances for further investigation.
129
130 -4 action, --names-change=action
131 Specify which action to take on receiving a metric names change
132 event during sampling. These events occur when a PMDA discovers
133 new metrics sometime after starting up, and informs running client
134 tools like pmrep. Valid values for action are update (refresh
135 metrics being sampled), ignore (do nothing - the default behav‐
136 iour) and abort (exit the program if such an event occurs). up‐
137 date implies --dynamic-header.
138
139 -5, --ignore-unknown
140 Silently ignore any metric name that cannot be resolved. At least
141 one metric must be found for the tool to start.
142
143 -6, --sort-metric=sort-metric
144 Specify a sort reference metric to sort output by values with -X.
145 By default sorting order is descending, prepending the metric name
146 with the minus sign (``-'') will change the order to be ascending.
147 See also -J and -N.
148
149 -7, --fixed-header
150 With -X print a fixed header once (unless using -E) including all
151 metrics being reported. Unlike with the default (static) header,
152 only instances with values available are reported. Unlike with
153 the dynamic header, the header is not updated even if values for
154 some metrics later become (un)available. See also -1 and -E.
155
156 -8 limit, --limit-filter=limit
157 Limit results to instances with values above/below limit. A posi‐
158 tive integer will include instances with values at or above the
159 limit in reporting. A negative integer will include instances
160 with values at or below the limit in reporting. A value of zero
161 performs no limit filtering. This option will not override possi‐
162 ble per-metric specifications. See also -J and -N.
163
164 -9 limit, --limit-filter-force=limit
165 Like -8 but this option will override per-metric specifications.
166
167 -a archive, --archive=archive
168 Performance metric values are retrieved from the set of Perfor‐
169 mance Co-Pilot (PCP) archive log files identified by the archive
170 argument, which is a comma-separated list of names, each of which
171 may be the base name of an archive or the name of a directory con‐
172 taining one or more archives. See also -u.
173
174 -A align, --align=align
175 Force the initial sample to be aligned on the boundary of a natu‐
176 ral time unit align. Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a complete descrip‐
177 tion of the syntax for align.
178
179 --archive-folio=folio
180 Read metric source archives from the PCP archive folio created by
181 tools like pmchart(1) or, less often, manually with mkaf(1).
182
183 -b scale, --space-scale=scale
184 Unit/scale for space (byte) metrics, possible values include
185 bytes, Kbytes, KB, Mbytes, MB, and so forth. This option will not
186 override possible per-metric specifications. See also pmParseU‐
187 nitsStr(3).
188
189 -B scale, --space-scale-force=scale
190 Like -b but this option will override per-metric specifications.
191
192 -c config, --config=config
193 Specify the config file or directory to use. In case config is a
194 directory all files in it ending .conf will be included. The de‐
195 fault is the first found of: ./pmrep.conf, $HOME/.pmrep.conf,
196 $HOME/pcp/pmrep.conf, $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmrep/pmrep.conf, and
197 $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmrep. See pmrep.conf(5).
198
199 --container=container
200 Fetch performance metrics from the specified container, either lo‐
201 cal or remote (see -h).
202
203 -C, --check
204 Exit before reporting any values, but after parsing the configura‐
205 tion and metrics and printing possible headers.
206
207 -d, --delay
208 When replaying from an archive, this option requests that the pre‐
209 vailing real-time delay be applied between samples (see -t) to ef‐
210 fect a pause, rather than the default behaviour of replaying at
211 full speed.
212
213 --daemonize
214 Daemonize on startup.
215
216 -e derived, --derived=derived
217 Specify derived performance metrics. If derived starts with a
218 slash (``/'') or with a dot (``.'') it will be interpreted as a
219 PCP derived metrics configuration file, otherwise it will be in‐
220 terpreted as comma- or semicolon-separated derived metric expres‐
221 sions. For complete description of derived metrics and PCP de‐
222 rived metrics configuration files see pmLoadDerivedConfig(3) and
223 pmRegisterDerived(3). Alternatively, using pmrep.conf(5) configu‐
224 ration syntax allows defining derived metrics as part of metric‐
225 sets.
226
227 -E lines, --repeat-header=lines
228 Repeat the header every lines of output. When not using -1 or -7
229 use auto to repeat the header based on terminal height. See also
230 -1 and -7.
231
232 -f format, --timestamp-format=format
233 Use the format string for formatting the timestamp. The format
234 will be used with Python's datetime.strftime method which is
235 mostly the same as that described in strftime(3). An empty format
236 string (i.e., "") will remove the timestamps from the output. De‐
237 faults to %H:%M:%S when using the stdout output target. Defaults
238 to %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S when using the csv output target.
239
240 -F outfile, --output-file=outfile
241 Specify the output file outfile. See -o.
242
243 -g, --separate-header
244 Output the column number and complete metric information, one-per-
245 line, before printing the metric values.
246
247 -G, --no-globals
248 Do not include global metrics in reporting (see pmrep.conf(5)).
249
250 -h host, --host=host
251 Fetch performance metrics from pmcd(1) on host, rather than from
252 the default localhost.
253
254 -H, --no-header
255 Do not print any headers.
256
257 -i instances, --instances=instances
258 Retrieve and report only the specified metric instances. By de‐
259 fault all initially present instances are reported, except when
260 writing an archive (see -o), where also all future instances will
261 be reported.
262
263 The specified instances are filtered from the initially present
264 instances when the tool is starting up. Thus instances which
265 would match the filter appearing after the tool has started up
266 will not be reported, use -j to change this.
267
268 This is a global option that is used for all set-valued metrics
269 unless a metric-specific instance filter is provided as part of a
270 metricspec. By default single-valued ``flat'' metrics without in‐
271 stances are still reported as usual, use -v to change this.
272
273 instances is a comma-separated list of one or more instance filter
274 specifications. Filters containing commas or whitespace must be
275 quoted with single (') or double (") quotes. Note that as part of
276 a metricspec on command line a list with more than one filter both
277 the list and each filter must be quoted as shown below. It is
278 also possible to define a single filter with bars (|) as instance
279 separating regex in order to make quoting easier, see below.
280
281 Multiple -i options are allowed as an alternative way of specify‐
282 ing more than one non-metric-specific instance filters.
283
284 An individual instance filter can be one of the following:
285
286 name Full instance name. For example, sda for disk.dev in‐
287 stances or eth0 for network.interface instances.
288
289 PID Process ID for proc instances.
290
291 command Base name of a process for proc instances. For example,
292 pmcd would match all pmcd(1) processes regardless of
293 their path or PID.
294
295 regex Regular expression. For example, .*python.* would match
296 all instances having the string python as part of their
297 instance name, meaning that this would match all Python
298 processes regardless of their path, PID, or version.
299
300 As an example, the following would report the same instances:
301
302 $ pmrep -i '. minute' kernel.all.load
303 $ pmrep -i '1 minute','5 minute' kernel.all.load
304 $ pmrep -i "'1 minute','5 minute'" kernel.all.load
305 $ pmrep -i '1 minute' -i '5 minute' kernel.all.load
306 $ pmrep kernel.all.load,,"'1 minute','5 minute'"
307 $ pmrep kernel.all.load,,'1 minute|5 minute'
308
309
310 However, this would report only the 1-minute instance:
311
312 $ pmrep -i '1 minute','5 minute' kernel.all.load,,'1 minute'
313
314
315 And this would report all instances (due to per-metric regex):
316
317 $ pmrep -i '1 minute','5 minute' 'kernel.all.load,,.*'
318
319
320 -I, --ignore-incompat
321 Ignore incompatible metrics. By default incompatible metrics
322 (that is, their type is unsupported or they cannot be scaled as
323 requested) will cause pmrep to terminate with an error message.
324 With this option all incompatible metrics are silently omitted
325 from reporting. This may be especially useful when requesting
326 non-leaf nodes of the PMNS tree for reporting.
327
328 --include-texts
329 When writing a PCP archive, include PCP metric help texts in the
330 created archive.
331
332 -j, --live-filter
333 Perform instance live filtering. This allows capturing all named
334 instances even if processes are restarted at some point (unlike
335 without live filtering). Performing live filtering over a huge
336 number of instances will add some internal overhead so a bit of
337 user caution is advised. See also -1 and -n.
338
339 -J rank, --rank=rank
340 Limit results to highest/lowest ranked instances of set-valued
341 metrics. A positive integer will include highest valued instances
342 in reporting. A negative integer will include lowest valued in‐
343 stances in reporting. A value of zero performs no ranking. Rank‐
344 ing does not imply sorting, see -6. See also -2 and -8.
345
346 -k, --extended-csv
347 Write extended CSV output, similar to sadf(1).
348
349 -K spec, --spec-local=spec
350 When fetching metrics from a local context (see -L), the -K option
351 may be used to control the DSO PMDAs that should be made accessi‐
352 ble. The spec argument conforms to the syntax described in pm‐
353 SpecLocalPMDA(3). More than one -K option may be used.
354
355 -l delimiter, --delimiter=delimiter
356 Specify the delimiter that separates each column of csv or stdout
357 output. The default for stdout is two spaces (`` '') and comma
358 (``,'') for csv. When using a non-whitespace delimiter, all in‐
359 stances of the delimiter in string values will be replaced by the
360 underscore (``_'') character.
361
362 -L, --local-PMDA
363 Use a local context to collect metrics from DSO PMDAs on the local
364 host without PMCD. See also -K.
365
366 -m, --include-labels
367 Include PCP metric labels in the output.
368
369 -n, --invert-filter
370 Perform ranking before live filtering. By default instance live
371 filtering (when requested, see -j) happens before instance ranking
372 (when requested, see -J). With this option the logic is inverted
373 and ranking happens before live filtering.
374
375 -N predicate, --predicate=predicate
376 Specify a comma-separated list of predicate filter reference met‐
377 rics. By default ranking (see -J) happens for each metric indi‐
378 vidually. With predicates, ranking is done only for the specified
379 predicate metrics. When reporting, rest of the metrics sharing
380 the same instance domain (see PCPIntro(1)) as the predicate will
381 include only the highest/lowest ranking instances of the corre‐
382 sponding predicate. Ranking does not imply sorting, see -6.
383
384 So for example, using proc.memory.rss (resident memory size of
385 process) as the predicate metric together with proc.io.total_bytes
386 and mem.util.used as metrics to be reported, only the processes
387 using most/least (as per -J) memory will be included when report‐
388 ing total bytes written by processes. Since mem.util.used is a
389 single-valued metric (thus not sharing the same instance domain as
390 the process related metrics), it will be reported as usual.
391
392 --no-inst-info
393 Omit instance information from headers. Not applicable with sepa‐
394 rate header (see -g).
395
396 -o output, --output=output
397 Use output target for reporting. The default target is stdout.
398 The available output target alternatives are:
399
400 archive
401 Record metrics into a PCP archive which can later be replayed
402 with PCP tools, including pmrep itself. See LOGARCHIVE(5) and
403 PCPIntro(1) for details about PCP archive files. Requires -F.
404
405 csv
406 Print metrics in CSV format (subject to formatting options).
407
408 stdout
409 Print metrics to stdout (format subject to formatting options).
410
411 -O origin, --origin=origin
412 When reporting archived metrics, start reporting at origin within
413 the time window (see -S and -T). Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a com‐
414 plete description of the syntax for origin.
415
416 -p, --timestamps
417 Print timestamps. By default no timestamps are printed.
418
419 -P precision, --precision=precision
420 Use precision for numeric non-integer output values. If the value
421 is too wide for its column width, precision is reduced one by one
422 until the value fits, or not printed at all if it does not. The
423 default is to use 3 decimal places (when applicable). This option
424 will not override possible per-metric specifications.
425
426 -q scale, --count-scale=scale
427 Unit/scale for count metrics, possible values include count x
428 10^-1, count, count x 10, count x 10^2, and so forth from 10^-8 to
429 10^7. (These values are currently space-sensitive.) This option
430 will not override possible per-metric specifications. See also
431 pmParseUnitsStr(3).
432
433 -Q scale, --count-scale-force=scale
434 Like -q but this option will override per-metric specifications.
435
436 -r, --raw
437 Output raw metric values, do not convert cumulative counters to
438 rates. When writing archives, raw values are always used. This
439 option will override possible per-metric specifications.
440
441 -R, --raw-prefer
442 Like -r but this option will not override per-metric specifica‐
443 tions.
444
445 -s samples, --samples=samples
446 The samples argument defines the number of samples to be retrieved
447 and reported. If samples is 0 or -s is not specified, pmrep will
448 sample and report continuously (in real time mode) or until the
449 end of the set of PCP archives (in archive mode). See also -T.
450
451 -S starttime, --start=starttime
452 When reporting archived metrics, the report will be restricted to
453 those records logged at or after starttime. Refer to PCPIntro(1)
454 for a complete description of the syntax for starttime.
455
456 -t interval, --interval=interval
457 Set the reporting interval to something other than the default 1
458 second. The interval argument follows the syntax described in
459 PCPIntro(1), and in the simplest form may be an unsigned integer
460 (the implied units in this case are seconds). See also the -T and
461 -u options.
462
463 -T endtime, --finish=endtime
464 When reporting archived metrics, the report will be restricted to
465 those records logged before or at endtime. Refer to PCPIntro(1)
466 for a complete description of the syntax for endtime.
467
468 When used to define the runtime before pmrep will exit, if no sam‐
469 ples is given (see -s) then the number of reported samples depends
470 on interval (see -t). If samples is given then interval will be
471 adjusted to allow reporting of samples during runtime. In case
472 all of -T, -s, and -t are given, endtime determines the actual
473 time pmrep will run.
474
475 -u, --no-interpol
476 When reporting archived metrics, by default values are reported
477 according to the selected sample interval (-t option), not accord‐
478 ing to the actual record interval in an archive. To this effect
479 PCP interpolates the values to be reported based on the records in
480 the archive. With the -u option uninterpolated reporting is en‐
481 abled, every recorded value for the selected metrics is reported
482 and the requested sample interval (-t) is ignored.
483
484 So for example, if a PCP archive contains recorded values for ev‐
485 ery 10 seconds and the requested sample interval is 1 hour, by de‐
486 fault pmrep will use an interpolation scheme to compute the values
487 of the requested metrics from the values recorded in the proximity
488 of these requested metrics and values for every 1 hour are re‐
489 ported. With -u every record every 10 seconds are reported as
490 such (the reported values are still subject to rate conversion,
491 use -r or -R to disable).
492
493 -U, --no-unit-info
494 Omit unit information from headers.
495
496 -v, --omit-flat
497 Report only set-valued metrics with instances (e.g. disk.dev.read)
498 and omit single-valued ``flat'' metrics without instances (e.g.
499 kernel.all.sysfork). See -i and -I.
500
501 -V, --version
502 Display version number and exit.
503
504 -w width, --width=width
505 Set the stdout output column width. Strings will be truncated to
506 this width. The default width is the shortest that can fit the
507 metric text label, the forced minimum is 3. This option will not
508 override possible per-metric specifications.
509
510 -W width, --width-force=width
511 Like -w but this option will override per-metric specifications.
512
513 -x, --extended-header
514 Print extended header.
515
516 -X label, --colxrow=label
517 Swap columns and rows in stdout output, reporting one instance per
518 line, using label as the text label for the instance column. Use
519 an empty string ("") to enable swapping without a specific column
520 label. This change in output allows using grep(1) to filter re‐
521 sults or to more closely mimic other tools. See also -i and -6.
522
523 -y scale, --time-scale=scale
524 Unit/scale for time metrics, possible values include nanosec, ns,
525 microsec, us, millisec, ms, and so forth up to hour, hr. This op‐
526 tion will not override possible per-metric specifications. See
527 also pmParseUnitsStr(3).
528
529 -Y scale, --time-scale-force=scale
530 Like -y but this option will override per-metric specifications.
531
532 -z, --hostzone
533 Use the local timezone of the host that is the source of the per‐
534 formance metrics, as identified by either the -h or the -a op‐
535 tions. The default is to use the timezone of the local host.
536
537 -Z timezone, --timezone=timezone
538 Use timezone for the date and time. Timezone is in the format of
539 the environment variable TZ as described in environ(7). Note that
540 when including a timezone string in output, ISO 8601 -style UTC
541 offsets are used (so something like -Z EST+5 will become UTC-5).
542
543 -?, --help
544 Display usage message and exit.
545
547 The following examples use the standard PCP facilities for collecting
548 the metric values, no external utilities are needed. The referenced
549 colon-starting metricsets are part of the default pmrep configuration.
550 With bash and zsh tab completes available options, metrics, and after a
551 colon metricsets.
552
553 Display network interface metrics on the local host:
554 $ pmrep network.interface.total.bytes
555
556 Display all outgoing network metrics for the wlan0 interface:
557 $ pmrep -i wlan0 -v network.interface.out
558
559 Display the slab total usage (in MB) of two specific slab instances:
560 $ pmrep mem.slabinfo.slabs.total_size,,'kmalloc-4k|xfs_inode',MB
561
562 Display timestamped vmstat(8) like information using megabytes instead
563 of kilobytes and also include the number of inodes used:
564 $ pmrep -p -B MB :vmstat vfs.inodes.count
565
566 Display per-device disk reads and writes from the host server1 using
567 two seconds interval and sadf(1) like CSV output format:
568 $ pmrep -h server1 -t 2s -o csv -k disk.dev.read disk.dev.write
569
570 Display processes using at least 100MB of memory using dynamic headers,
571 additionally use -g to display instance (process) names in full:
572 $ pmrep -b MB --limit-filter 100 --dynamic-header proc.memory.rss
573
574 Display the predefined set of metrics from the default pmrep.conf(5)
575 containing details about I/O requests by current pmlogger process(es):
576 $ pmrep -gp -i pmlogger :proc-io
577
578 Display the three most CPU-using processes:
579 $ pmrep -1gUJ 3 proc.hog.cpu
580
581 Display sar -w and sar -W like information at the same time from the
582 PCP archive ./20150921.09.13 showing values recorded between 3 - 5 PM:
583 $ pmrep -a ./20150921.09.13 -S @15:00 -T @17:00 :sar-w :sar-W
584
585 Record most relevant CPU, memory, and I/O related information about ev‐
586 ery Java process on the system, present and future, to an archive ./a
587 on one minute interval at every full minute in a background process:
588 $ pmrep --daemonize -A 1m -t 1m -i '.*java.*' -j -o archive -F ./a \
589 :proc-info :proc-cpu :proc-mem :proc-io
590
591 Record all 389 Directory Server, XFS file system, and CPU/memory/disk
592 metrics every five seconds for five minutes to a PCP archive ./a:
593 $ pmrep -t 5s -T 5m -o archive -F ./a ds389 xfs kernel.all.cpu mem disk
594
595 Record process memory and I/O information for those processes which are
596 the three most memory-consuming processes:
597 $ pmrep -o archive -F ./a -J 3 -N proc.memory.rss proc.memory proc.io
598
600 pmrep.conf
601 pmrep configuration file (see -c)
602
603 $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmrep/*.conf
604 system provided default pmrep configuration files
605
607 Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
608 file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
609 /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
610 $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
611 file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
