NAME

       pcp-zoneinfo - Report statistics for System Zoneinfo.

SYNOPSIS

       pcp  [pcp options]  zoneinfo  [-s  samples] [-a archive] [-S start_time] [-T end_time] [-Z
       timezone]

DESCRIPTION

       The pcp-zoneinfo command is used for viewing the different kinds of stats related to  numa
       nodes.  Using various options it helps a user to analyze useful information related to the
       zone availability for different numa nodes.This  file  display  information  about  memory
       zones.   This  is  useful  for  analyzing  virtual memory behavior.By default pcp-zoneinfo
       reports live data for the local host.

       The statistics shown are as follows:

                                  Per node stats (for each NUMA node)

       -T, --finish=time
              Filter the samples from the archive until the given time

       -V, --version
              Display version number and exit.

       -z, --hostzone
              Use  the  local timezone of the host that is the source of the performance metrics,
              as identified by either the -h or the -a  options.   The  default  is  to  use  the
              timezone of the local host.

       -Z timezone, --timezone=timezone
              Use  timezone  for the date and time.  Timezone is in the format of the environment
              variable TZ as described in environ(7).

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

NOTES

       pcp-zoneinfo collects information from /proc/zoneinfo and aims  to  be  command  line  and
       output compatible with it.

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).

       For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see pmGetOptions(3).
