       pmlogger_daily_report - write Performance Co-Pilot daily summary
       reports

SYNOPSIS         top

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmlogger_daily_report [-ApV?]  [-a archivefile]
       [-f outputfile] [-h hostname] [-l logfile] [-o directory] [-t
       interval]

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmlogger_daily_report writes daily performance summary reports,
       much like those produced by sadc(1) and the sa2(8) utility.

       All of the command line arguments are optional and intended to be
       self explanatory.

       By default, the reports are not generated, but if the pcp-
       zeroconf package has been installed (there will be files in
       $PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogconf/zeroconf) then the necessary
       metrics will have been included in the default pmlogger(1)
       configuration file and the reports will be generated.

       The reports are generated (by default) soon after midnight, once
       pmlogger_daily(1) has completed the merging of any partial
       archives to generate one archive for yesterday's activity.

       Each performance summary report is named sarXX (where XX is
       yesterdays day-of-the-month).  The outputfile may be changed with
       the -f option.  The report will be written to the $PCP_LOG_DIR/sa
       directory by default, but this may be changed with the -o option
       to a different directory.

       Note that there are sufficiently flexible command line options
       for pmlogger_daily_report to be used to read any archivefile and
       write the report to any output directory.

       If the -a option is not given, the default input archivefile is
       $PCP_ARCHIVE_DIR/HOSTNAME/YYYYMMDD, where HOSTNAME defaults to
       the local hostname (unless changed with the -h option) and
       YYYYMMDD is the base name of yesterdays merged archive, as
       produced by pmlogger(1) and pmlogger_daily(1).  If archivefile is
       a directory, then pmlogger_daily_report will use all PCP archives
       found in that directory to write the report (this is known as
       multi-archive mode, and may be considerably slower than
       specifying a single archive as the input).

       The reports themselves are created by the pmrep(1) utility using
       its default configuration file, see pmrep.conf(5).  The pmrep(1)
       configuration entries used to write the reports is currently
       hardwired into the pmlogger_daily_report script.

       Finally, the input archives must contain sufficient metrics as
       needed by pmrep(1) to write the report.  On platforms that
       support it, the pcp-zeroconf package configures PCP logging as
       required for this - hence pmlogger_daily_report should be used
       with the pmlogger(1) configuration that is set up by pcp-
       zeroconf.  As the name suggests, pcp-zeroconf requires no
       additional configuration after installation in order to capture
       the required archives needed by pmlogger_daily_report.

OPTIONS         top

       The available command line options are:

       -a archive
            Specifies an alternate input archive file basename or
            directory path.

       -A   Use the start and end times of input archive for the report,
            as opposed to the default behaviour of 24 hours from
            midnight yesterday.

       -f filename
            Specifies an alternate output filename.  -h hostname
            Specifies an alternate hostname to use within the default
            input archive file path.

       -l file, --logfile=file
            In order to ensure that mail is not unintentionally sent
            when this script is run from pmlogger_daily(1) diagnostics
            are always sent to a log file.  By default, this file is
            $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmlogger/pmlogger_daily_report.log but this can
            be changed using the -l option.  If this log file already
            exists when the script starts, it will be renamed with a
            .prev suffix (overwriting any log file saved earlier) before
            diagnostics are generated to the log file.

       -p   If this option is specified then the status of the daily
            processing is polled and if the report has not been done in
            the last 24 hours then it is done now.  With this option,
            pmlogger_daily_report simply exits if the previous day's
            processing has already been done.

            This option is no longer required as the polling of
            pmlogger_daily(1) will ensure the report will be generated,
            however the option is retained for backwards compatibility.

       -t interval
            Specifies the sampling interval used when generating the
            report, in the format described in PCPIntro(1).  The default
            is every 10 minutes.

       -V, --verbose
            The output from the execution of the script may be extended
            using this option which enables verbose tracing of activity.
            By default the script generates no log output unless some
            error or warning condition is encountered.

       -?, --help
            Display usage message and exit.

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       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).
