collectl2pcp(1)

NAME

   collectl2pcp - import collectl data to a PCP archive

SYNOPSIS

   collectl2pcp [-F] [-v] [-?]  file [file ...]  archive

DESCRIPTION

   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 options to collectl2pcp are as follows.

   -F     Overwrite archive (and the index and meta files) if  it  already
          exists.

   -v     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.

   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).

PCP ENVIRONMENT

   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).
