NAME
pmlogger_rewrite - helper script to rewrite Performance Co-Pilot
archives
SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmlogger_rewrite [-dNsVvw?] [-c config] archive
...
DESCRIPTION
pmlogger_rewrite is a helper script that is used by
pmlogger_daily(1) when rewriting Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
archives. Rewriting is usually required to accommodate
evolutionary changes in metadata so old archives can be updated
and then merged with current archives.
pmlogger_rewrite is a wrapper script for pmlogrewrite(1) that
will potentially rewrite all of the archives matching the archive
arguments. Each archive argument may be a PCP archive file name,
the basename for the files in a PCP archive, or a directory (in
which case all subordinate PCP archives are found by recursive
descent).
pmlogrewrite is run with the -i option so rewriting is done ``in
place''. The -q option is also used, so if no rewriting is
required then no changes are made to the archive files.
OPTIONS
The following options are passed through to pmlogrewrite: -c (or
--config), -d (or --desperate), -s (or --scale), -v (or
--verbose) and -w (or --warnings). Refer to pmlogrewrite(1) for
the meaning of these options.
The remaining options are:
-N, --showme
Runs pmlogger_rewrite in a ``show me'' or ``dry run'' mode
where the tasks that would be performed are reported, but no
changes are made. This is typically used for debugging in
combination with one (verbose) or two (very verbose) -V op‐
tions.
-V, --verbose
Increase script output verbosity.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
PCP ENVIRONMENT
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).
