PMLOGPASTE(1) General Commands Manual PMLOGPASTE(1)
pmlogpaste - paste text into a metric in a PCP archive
pmlogpaste [-?] [-f file] [-h hostname] [-l label] [-m metric]
[-o outfile] [-t timezone]
pmlogpaste takes input text from a file or the command line, and
writes it as a metric value in a new PCP archive. This metric
value is timestamped with the current time, and is stored as a
string type metric.
The main purpose of this tool is to take captured output and
preserve this in a PCP archive. This allows, for example, the
output of a benchmark run to be stored along with performance
metrics captured during that run, in a single archive. Archives
can be merged using the pmlogextract(1) utility.
pmlogpaste uses the LOGIMPORT(3) library interfaces internally,
which support the creation of archives from external sources of
performance data.
The available command line options are:
-f file, --file=file
File with input text to be archived, or ``-'' for standard
input.
-h hostname, --hostname=hostname
Source host name for the archive. The default value is the
local host name, or ``localhost'' if that cannot be obtained.
-l label, --label=label
Add context labels to the generated archive. This option can
be presented multiple times to produce multiple labels in the
archive. The label should be in the form name:value.
-m metric, --metric=metric
Metric name for the archive. The default metric name is
paste.value.
-o outfile, --outfile=outfile
Archive output file. The default archive name is paste.
-t timezone, --timezone=timezone
Source timezone for the archive archive. The default value
is the local timezone.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
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).
PCPIntro(1), pmcd(1), pmlogextract(1) and LOGIMPORT(3).
