NAME

       collectl2pcp - import collectl data to a PCP archive

SYNOPSIS

       collectl2pcp [-fv?]  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.

OPTIONS

       The available command line options are:

       -f, --force
            Overwrite archive (and the index and meta files) if it already exists.

       -v, --verbose
            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.

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

       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).

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