NAME

       pcp-verify - verify aspects of a PCP installation

SYNOPSIS

       pcp verify [-a archive] [-h host] [-csvV?]

DESCRIPTION

       pcp-verify  inspects  various  aspects  of  a  PCP  collector  installation  and reports on whether it is
       configured correctly for certain modes of operation.

       By default, pcp-verify checks that PMCD is running and no agents are in a failed state.  These checks can
       be extended and refined using the command line options.

OPTIONS

       The available command line options are:

       -a archive, --archive=archive
            Use the archive for verification.

       -c, --containers
            Verify the collector installation for monitoring containers.

       -h host, --host=host
            Connect to the PMCD on host for verification.

       -s, --secure
            Verify that the required components for encrypted communication are in place.

       -v, --verbose
            Increase the verbosity, and report on each check as it is made.  In the absence of any issues found,
            pcp-verify operates silently.

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

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

DIAGNOSTICS

       pcp-verify will exit with a non-zero status if it finds anything worth reporting, otherwise it is  silent
       and returns zero.

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).
