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).
