pmlogconf(1)

NAME
     pmlogconf - create/edit a pmlogger configuration file

SYNOPSIS
     $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmlogconf configfile

DESCRIPTION
     pmlogconf may be used to create and modify a generic configuration file
     for the PCP archive logger, pmlogger(1).

     configfile may be used with the -c option to pmlogger(1) to select
     performance metrics and specify logging frequencies for a PCP archive.

     If configfile does not exist, pmlogconf will create a generic
     configuration file with the default set of enabled metrics and logging
     frequencies.

     If configfile does exist, pmlogconf will prompt for input from the user
     to enable or disable groups of related performance metrics, and to
     control the logging frequency for each enabled group.

     Group selection requires a simple y (yes) or n (no) response to the
     prompt Log this group?.

     Logging frequency is specified by responding to the Logging interval?
     prompt with the keywords once or default or a valid pmlogger(1) interval
     specification of the form ``every N timeunits'' or simply ``N
     timeunits'', where every is optional, N is an unsigned integer, and
     timeunits is one of the keywords msec, millisecond, sec, second, min,
     minute, hour or the plural form of one of the above.

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(4).
