MRTG2PCP(1) General Commands Manual MRTG2PCP(1)
mrtg2pcp - import MRTG data and create a PCP archive
mrtg2pcp hostname devname timezone infile outfile
mrtg2pcp is intended to read an MRTG log file as created by
mrtg(1) and translate this into a Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
archive with the basename outfile. The hostname, devname, and
timezone arguments specify information about the system for which
the statistics were gathered.
The resultant PCP archive may be used with all PCP client tools
to graph subsets of the data using pmchart(1), perform data
reduction and reporting, filter with the PCP inference engine
pmie(1), etc.
A series of physical files will be created with the prefix
outfile. These are outfile.0 (the performance data),
outfile.meta (the metadata that describes the performance data)
and outfile.index (a temporal index to improve efficiency of
replay operations for the archive). If any of these files exists
already, then mrtg2pcp will not overwrite them and will exit with
an error message of the form
__pmLogNewFile: ``blah.0'' already exists, not over-written
mrtg2pcp is a Perl script that uses the PCP::LogImport Perl
wrapper around the PCP libpcp_import library, and as such could
be used as an example to develop new tools to import other types
of performance data and create PCP archives.
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).

PCP::LogImport(3).
