PMLOGGER_MERGE(1) General Commands Manual PMLOGGER_MERGE(1)
pmlogger_merge - helper script to merge Performance Co-Pilot
archives
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmlogger_merge [-fNVE?] [input-basename ...
output-name]
pmlogger_merge is a helper script that is used by
pmlogger_daily(1) when merging all of the Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP) archives for a single host on a single day into a combined
PCP archive.
pmlogger_merge is a wrapper script for pmlogextract(1) that
merges all of the archives matching the input-basename arguments,
and creates a new archive using output-name as the base name for
the physical files that constitute an archive. The input-
basename arguments may contain meta characters in the style of
sh(1).
The available command line options are:
-f, --force
This option causes all of the input files to be removed once
the output archive has been created.
-N, --showme
Runs pmlogger_merge in a ``show me'' or ``dry run'' mode
where the tasks that would be performed are reported, but no
changes are made. This is typically used for debugging in
combination with one (verbose) or two (very verbose) -V
options.
-V, --verbose
Increase verbosity in the output progress report.
-E, --expunge
When metric metadata differences are encountered between
archives to be merged, the default behaviour is for
pmlogger_merge to fail with a fatal error and the output-
name archive is not created. The -E flag instead issues a
warning and excludes the affected metrics from the merged
output archive. This is intended for automated daily
archive rotation where it is highly desirable for unattended
daily archive merging, rewriting and compression to succeed.
See also pmlogger_daily(1) and the -x flag to
pmlogextract(1).
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
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).
