PMLOGREDACT(1) General Commands Manual PMLOGREDACT(1)
pmlogredact - remove sensitive information from PCP archives
pmlogredact [-vx?] [-c config] inarch [outarch]
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archives may contain a wealth of
information collected from across all components of a system.
Some of this information may be deemed sensitive outside the
context of the original collection for analysis of system
performance. Examples of sensitive information might include user
names, paths to user home directories (that may imply user names),
hostnames, IP addresses, MAC addresses, command line arguments,
process environment variables, etc.
pmlogredact may be used to remove sensitive information before
archives are shipped to another organization, or stored in another
geography, or to meet regulatory or privacy compliance. The
output archive outarch is the redacted version of the input
archive inarch.
pmlogredact is a thin wrapper around pmlogrewrite(1), and so the
configuration files for pmlogredact follow the same syntax as the
configuration files for pmlogrewrite(1).
There are a default set of redaction rules in the
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogredact/* files. These rules remove some
metrics, rewrite the instance domains of some metrics and rewrite
the values of some metrics. The -x (or --exclude-std) option may
be used to not use the default set of rules.
Additional (or alternative) configuration files may be specified
with one or more -c (or --config) options, where each config is
either a file or a directory (implying all the files within that
directory).
The -v (or --verbose) option adds verbosity (and is passed direct‐
ly to pmlogrewrite(1)).
The -? (or --help) option displays a usage message and exits.
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogredact/*
default redaction rules
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameter‐
ize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installa‐
tion, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these
variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an al‐
ternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
pmlogrewrite(1), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5).
