COLLECTL2PCP(1) General Commands Manual COLLECTL2PCP(1)
collectl2pcp - import collectl data to a PCP archive
collectl2pcp [-fv?] [-D debug] file [file ...] archive
collectl2pcp reads raw collectl(1) data from each file and creates
a new PCP archive with basename archive. Each input file may be
gzipped (with .gz suffix). The PCP archive and at least one input
file are required arguments.
The available command line options are:
-f, --force
Overwrite archive (and the index and meta files) if it
already exists.
-v, --verbose
Report progress and errors verbosely. This also reports a
count of unsupported metric data in the collectl(1) input
file(s), which is normally silently skipped.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
file [file ...]
These are the collectl(1) input files. If more than one is
given, they must contain data for the same host and be given
in time-stamp chronological order on the command line. Note
that when collectl(1) is run as a service, it normally
creates files with date based names that will sort
chronologically (e.g. /var/log/collectl/*.gz will be sorted
correctly).
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for
these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an
alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see
pmGetOptions(3).
The -D or --debug option enables the output of additional
diagnostics on stderr to help triage problems, although the
information is sometimes cryptic and primarily intended to provide
guidance for developers rather end-users. debug is a comma
separated list of debugging options; use pmdbg(1) with the -l
option to obtain a list of the available debugging options and
their meaning.
