PMLOGGER(1) General Commands Manual PMLOGGER(1)
pmlogger - create an archive for performance metrics
pmlogger [-CLNoPruy?] [-c conffile] [-d directory] [-h host] [-H
hostname] [-I version] [-K spec] [-l logfile] [-m note] [-n
pmnsfile] [-p pid] [-s endsize] [-t interval] [-T endtime] [-U
username] [-v volsize] [-V version] [-x fd] archive
pmlogger creates the archives of performance metric values that
may be ``played back'' by other Performance Co-Pilot (see
PCPIntro(1)) tools. These logs form the basis of the VCR
paradigm and retrospective performance analysis services common
to the PCP toolkit.
The mandatory argument archive is the base name for the physical
files that constitute an archive. The archive argument may
contain strftime(3) meta-characters, which will be substituted
prior to creating the archive files. When pmlogger is run as a
service (see pmlogger_daily(1)), the standard archive base name
template is %Y%m%d.%H.%M.
The -V option specifies the version for the archive that is
generated. By default the archive version $PCP_ARCHIVE_VERSION
(set to 3 in current PCP releases) is used, and the only values
currently supported for version are 2 or 3.
Unless directed to another host by the -h option or when directly
using PMDAs via the -o option, pmlogger will contact the
Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD) on the local host and
use that as the source of the metric values to be logged.
To support the required flexibility and control over what is
logged and when, pmlogger maintains an independent two level
logging state for each instance of each performance metric. At
the first (mandatory) level, logging is allowed to be on (with an
associated interval between samples), or off or maybe. In the
latter case, the second (advisory) level logging is allowed to be
on (with an associated interval between samples), or off.
The mandatory level allows universal specification that some
metrics must be logged, or must not be logged. The default state
for all instances of all metrics when pmlogger starts is
mandatory maybe and advisory off.
Use pmlc(1) to interrogate and change the logging state once
pmlogger is running.
If a metric's state is mandatory (on or off) and a request is
made to change it to mandatory maybe, the new state is mandatory
maybe and advisory off. If a metric's state is already advisory
(on or off) and a request is made to change it to mandatory
maybe, the current state is retained.
It is not possible for pmlogger to log specific instances of a
metric and all instances of the same metric concurrently. If
specific instances are being logged and a request to log all
instances is made, then all instances of the metric will be
logged according to the new request, superseding any prior
logging request for the metric. A request to log all instances
of a metric will supersede any previous request to log all
instances. A request to log specific instances of a metric when
all instances are already being logged is refused. To do this
one must turn off logging for all instances of the metric first.
In each case, the validity of the request is checked first; for
example a request to change a metric's logging state to advisory
on when it is currently mandatory off is never permitted (it is
necessary to change the state to mandatory maybe first).
Optionally, each system running pmcd(1) may also be configured to
run a ``primary'' pmlogger instance. This pmlogger instance is
launched by $PCP_RC_DIR/pmlogger, and is affected by the files
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmlogger/control,
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmlogger/control.d/*, (use chkconfig(8),
systemctl(1) or similar platform-specific commands to activate or
disable the primary pmlogger instance),
$PCP_SYSCONFIG_DIR/pmlogger (environment variable settings for
the primary pmlogger) $PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmlogger/pmlogger.options
(command line options passed to the primary pmlogger) and
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger/config.default (the default initial
configuration file for the primary pmlogger).
The primary pmlogger instance is identified by the -P option.
There may be at most one ``primary'' pmlogger instance on each
system. The primary pmlogger instance (if any) must be running
on the same host as the pmcd(1) to which it connects (if any), so
the -h and -P options are mutually exclusive.
Logging of some metrics is possible even in the absence of a
local pmcd(1), using the "local context" mode of operation. This
is activated using the -o option, and causes pmlogger to make use
of local DSO PMDAs instead of communicating with pmcd(1). When
operating using a local context, the -K option may be used to
control the DSO PMDAs that should be made accessible. The spec
argument conforms to the syntax described in pmSpecLocalPMDA(3).
More than one -K option may be used.
When launched as a non-primary instance, pmlogger will exit
immediately if the configuration file causes no metric logging to
be scheduled. The -L option overrides this behavior, and causes
a non-primary pmlogger instance to ``linger'', presumably pending
some future dynamic re-configuration and state change via
pmlc(1). pmlogger will also linger without the -L option being
used if all the metrics to be logged are logged as once only
metrics. When the once only metrics have been logged, a warning
message will be generated stating that the event queue is empty
and no more events will be scheduled.
By default all diagnostics and errors from pmlogger are written
to the file pmlogger.log in the directory where pmlogger is
launched. The -l option may be used to override the default
behavior. If the log file cannot be created or is not writable,
output is written to standard error instead. If the logfile for
the -l option is "-" (i.e. -l-) then log messages are written to
the standard output stream. This can be particularly useful when
running pmlogger manually, rather than as a service daemon.
The -N option directs pmlogger to notify a service manager,
typically systemd(1), when it has started and is about to begin
writing PCP archives. This option would only normally be used
when pmlogger is run as a daemon service under the control of a
service manager. For more details, see
__pmServerNotifyServiceManagerReady(3) and systemd(1). On
platforms that do not use a service manager that supports
notifications, the -N option is basically a no-op.
If specified, the -s option instructs pmlogger to terminate after
a certain size in records, bytes or time units has been
accumulated. If endsize is an integer then endsize records will
be written to the archive. If endsize is an integer suffixed by
b or bytes then endsize bytes of the archive data will be written
out (note, however, that archive record boundaries will not be
broken and so this limit may be slightly surpassed). Other
viable file size units include: K, Kb, KiB, Kbyte, Kilobyte for
kilobytes and M, Mb, MiB, Mbyte, Megabyte for megabytes and G,
Gb, GiB, Gbyte, Gigabyte for gigabytes. These units may be
optionally suffixed by an s and may be of mixed case.
Alternatively endsize may be an integer or a floating point
number suffixed using a time unit as described in PCPIntro(1) for
the interval argument (to the standard PCP -t command line
option).
Some examples of different formats:
-s 100
-s 100bytes
-s 100K
-s 100Mb
-s 10Gbyte
-s 10mins
-s 1.5hours
The default is for pmlogger to run forever.
The -r option causes the size of the physical record(s) for each
group of metrics and the expected contribution of the group to
the size of the PCP archive for one full day of collection to be
reported in the log file. This information is reported the first
time each group is successfully written to the archive.
The -U option specifies the user account under which to run
pmlogger. The default is the current user account for
interactive use. When run as a daemon, the unprivileged "pcp"
account is used in current versions of PCP, but in older versions
the superuser account ("root") was used by default.
The archive is potentially a multi-volume data set, and the -v
option causes pmlogger to start a new volume after a certain size
in records, bytes, or time units has been accumulated for the
current volume. The format of this size specification is
identical to that of the -s option (see above). The default is
for pmlogger to create a single volume archive. Additional
volume switches can also be forced asynchronously by either using
pmlc(1) or sending pmlogger a SIGHUP signal (see below). Note,
if a scheduled volume switch is in operation due to the -v
option, then its counters will be reset after an asynchronous
switch.
Independent of any -v option, each volume of an archive is
limited to no more than 2^31 bytes, so pmlogger will
automatically create a new volume for the archive before this
limit is reached.
Normally pmlogger operates on the distributed Performance Metrics
Name Space (PMNS), however if the -n option is specified an
alternative local PMNS is loaded from the file pmnsfile.
Under normal circumstances, pmlogger will run forever (except for
a -s option or a termination signal). The -T option may be used
to limit the execution time using the format of time as
prescribed by PCPIntro(1). The time is interpreted within the
time zone of the PMCD server, unless the -y option is given,
within which case the time zone at this logger host is used.
Some examples of different formats:
-T 10mins
-T '@ 11:30'
From this it can be seen that -T 10mins and -s 10mins perform
identical actions.
Alternatively, pmlogger runtime may be limited to the lifetime of
another process by using the -p or --PID option to nominate the
PID of the process of interest. In this case the pmlogger will
exit when the other process no longer exists.
When pmlogger receives a SIGHUP signal, the current volume of the
archive is closed, and a new volume is opened. This mechanism
(or the alternative mechanism via pmlc(1)) may be used to manage
the growth of the archive files - once a log volume is closed,
that file may be archived without ill-effect on the continued
operation of pmlogger. See also the -v option above.
When pmlogger receives a SIGUSR2 signal, the current archive is
closed, and a new archive is opened. For this to succeed, the
original archive argument must include strftime(3) meta
characters (e.g. %Y%m%d.%H.%M), otherwise pmlogger will exit
because the archive files will already exist and pmlogger will
not over-write existing archive files. Note that SIGUSR2
triggers pmlogger to re-exec itself and re-parse all original
arguments. This means that any relative time limits placed on
it's termination time or sampling limit are reset and begin
again. This only affects relative termination times, not
absolute times e.g. -T 5s is affected, but -T 5pm is not.
Historically the buffers for the current archive may be flushed
to disk using the flush command of pmlc(1), or by using the -u
option. The current version of pmlogger and the libpcp routines
that underpin pmlogger unconditionally use unbuffered writes and
a single fwrite(3) for each logical record written, and so
``flushing'' does not force any additional data to be written to
the file system. The -u option and the pmlc(1) flush command are
retained for backwards compatibility.
When launched with the -x option, pmlogger will accept
asynchronous control requests on the file descriptor fd. This
option is only expected to be used internally by PCP applications
that support ``live record mode''.
The -m option allows the string note to be appended to the map
file for this instance of pmlogger in the $PCP_TMP_DIR/pmlogger
directory. This is currently used internally to document the
file descriptor (fd) when the -x option is used, or to indicate
that this pmlogger instance was started under the control of
pmlogger_check(1), (-m pmlogger_check) or was re-exec'd (see
execvp(3)) due to a SIGUSR2 signal being received as described
above (-m reexec).
The -H option allows the hostname written into the archive label
to be overridden. This mirrors the -H option of pmcd(1) , but
allows it to be specified on the pmlogger process. Without this
option, the value returned from the logged pmcd(1) is used.
The -C option will cause the configuration file to be parsed and
pmlogger will then exit without creating an output archive, so
when -C is specified, the archive command line argument is not
required. Any errors in the configuration file are reported.
The -d or --directory option may be used to specify the directory
where the archive should be created. directory may include sh(1)
metacharacters, like $(...) or `...` or $var and pmlogger will
expand these to produce a final directory path. The resultant
path must be absolute, not relative. The -d option is intended
primarily for use by pmlogger_check(1) and normal users would not
typically need to use the option, as the directory for archive is
either implied by archive if it contains directory components
else the current directory by default.
The configuration file may be specified with the -c option. If
it is not, configuration specifications are read from standard
input.
If conffile does not exist, then a search is made in the
directory $PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger for a file of the same
name, and if found that file is used, e.g. if config.mumble does
not exist in the current directory and the file
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger/config.mumble does exist, then -c
config.mumble and -c $PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger/config.mumble
are equivalent.
The syntax for the configuration file is as follows.
1. Words are separated by white space (space, tab or newline).
2. The symbol ``#'' (hash) introduces a comment, and all text
up to the next newline is ignored.
3. Keywords (shown in bold below) must appear literally (i.e.
in lower case).
4. Each specification begins with the optional keyword log,
followed by one of the states mandatory on, mandatory off,
mandatory maybe, advisory on or advisory off.
5. For the on states, a logging interval must follow using the
syntax ``once'', or ``default'', or ``every N timeunits'',
or simply ``N timeunits'' - 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.
Internal limitations require the interval to be smaller than
(approximately) 74 hours. An interval value of zero is a
synonym for once. An interval of default means to use the
default logging interval of 60 seconds; this default value
may be changed to interval with the -t command line option.
The interval argument follows the syntax described in
PCPIntro(1), and in the simplest form may be an unsigned
integer (the implied units in this case are seconds).
6. Following the state and possible interval specifications
comes a ``{'', followed by a list of one or more metric
specifications and a closing ``}''. The list is white space
(or comma) separated. If there is only one metric
specification in the list, the braces are optional.
7. A metric specification consists of a metric name optionally
followed by a set of instance names. The metric name
follows the standard PCP naming conventions, see PMNS(5),
and if the metric name is a non-leaf node in the PMNS (see
PMNS(5)), then pmlogger will recursively descend the PMNS
and apply the logging specification to all descendent metric
names that are leaf nodes in the PMNS. The set of instance
names is a ``['', followed by a list of one or more space
(or comma) separated names, numbers or strings, and a
closing ``]''. Elements in the list that are numbers are
assumed to be internal instance identifiers, other elements
are assumed to be external instance identifiers - see
pmGetInDom(3) for more information.
If no instances are given, then the logging specification is
applied to all instances of the associated metric.
8. There may be an arbitrary number of logging specifications.
9. As of PCP version 4.0 and later, any metric name
specification that does not resolve to a leaf node in the
PMNS is added to an internal list of possible dynamic
subtree roots. PMDAs can dynamically create new metrics
below a dynamic root node in their PMNS, and send a
notification to clients that the PMNS has changed, see
pmdaExtSetFlags(3) and in particular the METRIC CHANGES
section for API details. This mechanism is currently
supported by pmdaopenmetrics(1) and pmdammv(1). When a
fetch issued by pmlogger returns with the
PMDA_EXT_NAMES_CHANGE flag set, pmlogger will traverse the
internal list of possible dynamic subtree nodes and
dynamically discover any new metrics. In effect, as of PCP
version 4.0 and later, pmlogger can be configured to
dynamically log new metrics that appear in the future, after
the configuration file is initially parsed.
10. Following all of the logging specifications, there may be an
optional access control section, introduced by the literal
token [access]. Thereafter come access control rules that
allow or disallow operations from particular hosts or groups
of hosts.
The operations may be used to interrogate or control a
running pmlogger using pmlc(1) and fall into the following
classes:
enquire
interrogate the status of pmlogger and the metrics it
is logging
advisory
Change advisory logging.
mandatory
Change mandatory logging.
all All of the above.
Access control rules are of the form ``allow hostlist :
operationslist ;'' and ``disallow hostlist : operationslist
;''.
The hostlist follows the syntax and semantics for the access
control mechanisms used by PMCD and are fully documented in
pmcd(1). An operationslist is a comma separated list of the
operations advisory, mandatory, enquire and all.
A missing [access] section allows all access and is
equivalent to allow * : all;.
The configuration (either from standard input or conffile) is
initially scanned by pmcpp(1) with the options -rs and -I
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger. This extends the configuration
file syntax with include file processing (%include), a common
location to search for include files
($PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger), macro definitions (%define),
macro expansion (%name and %{name}) and conditional inclusion of
lines (%ifdef name ... %else ... %endif and %ifndef name ...
%else ... %endif).
The available command line options are:
-c conffile, --config=conffile
Specify the conffile file to use.
-C, --check
Parse configuration and exit.
-h host, --host=host
Fetch performance metrics from pmcd(1) on host, rather than
from the default localhost.
-H hostname, --labelhost=hostname
Specify the hostname to use instead of the one returned by
pmcd(1).
-I version, --pmlc-ipc-version=version
Normally, pmlogger and pmlc(1) will autonegotiate a mutually
acceptable version for their private IPC channel. Use -I to
force pmlogger to offer (at most) version as the version to
be used. This option may be required if pmlogger needs to
be managed by an older version of pmlc(1) that fails to
autonegotiate correctly.
-K spec, --spec-local=spec
When fetching metrics from a local context (see -o), the -K
option may be used to control the DSO PMDAs that should be
made accessible. The spec argument conforms to the syntax
described in pmSpecLocalPMDA(3). More than one -K option
may be used.
-l logfile, --log=logfile
Write all diagnostics to logfile instead of the default
pmlogger.log.
-L, --linger
Run even if not the primary logger instance and nothing to
log.
-m note, --note=note
Append note to the port map file for this instance.
-n pmnsfile, --namespace=pmnsfile
Load an alternative Performance Metrics Name Space (PMNS(5))
from the file pmnsfile.
-N, --notify
Notify service manager such as systemd(1) as needed.
-o, --local-PMDA
Use a local context to collect metrics from DSO PMDAs on the
local host without PMCD. See also -K.
-p PID, --PID=PID
Log specified metrics for the lifetime of the pid PID.
-P, --primary
Run as primary logger instance. See above for more detailed
description of this.
-r, --report
Report record sizes and archive growth rate.
-s endsize, --size=endsize
Terminate after archive size exceeds endsize.
-t interval, --interval=interval
Specify the logging interval. The default value is 60
seconds. Please refer to the ENVIRONMENT and FILES sections
below regarding the PMLOGGER_INTERVAL environment variable
and its impact on the default logging interval.
-T endtime, --finish=endtime
Specify the endtime when to end logging.
-u Use unbuffered output. This is the default (so this option
does nothing).
-U username, --username=username
When in daemon mode, run as user username.
-v volsize, --volsize=volsize
Switch volumes after reaching archive volume size volsize.
-V version, --version=version
Specify archive version. The default and the only accepted
value is 2.
-x fd
Allow asynchronous control requests on the file descriptor
fd.
-y Use local timezone instead of the timezone from the pmcd(1)
host.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
For each PCP utility, there is a sample pmlogger configuration
file that could be used to create an archive suitable for
replaying with that tool (i.e. includes all of the performance
metrics used by the tool). For a tool named foo this
configuration file is located in
$PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogger/config.foo.
The following is a simple default configuration file for a
primary pmlogger instance, and demonstrates most of the
capabilities of the configuration specification language.
log mandatory on once { hinv.ncpu hinv.ndisk }
log mandatory on every 10 minutes {
disk.all.write
disk.all.read
network.interface.in.packets [ "et0" ]
network.interface.out.packets [ "et0" ]
nfs.server.reqs [ "lookup" "getattr" "read" "write" ]
}
log advisory on every 30 minutes {
environ.temp
pmcd.pdu_in.total
pmcd.pdu_out.total
}
%include "macros.default"
%ifdef %disk_detail
log mandatory on %disk_detail_freq {
disk.dev
}
%endif
[access]
disallow * : all except enquire;
allow localhost : mandatory, advisory;
The hostname of the PMCD that is providing metrics to pmlogger is
used in several ways.
PMCD's hostname (or the argument from the -H option) is included
in the archive label and may be used to ensure that subsequent
operations on multiple archives, e.g. pmlogextract(1), are only
applied to archives from the same host.
For pmlogger instances using a local PMCD that are launched and
managed by pmlogger_check(1) and pmlogger_daily(1), (or the
systemd(1) or cron(8) services that use these scripts), the local
hostname may also be used to construct the name of a directory
where all the archives for the one host are stored, e.g.
$PCP_ARCHIVE_DIR/<hostname>.
And PMCD's hostname is also stored in the archive via the
pmcd.pmlogger.hostname metric that is used as part of the checks
to ensure that there is continuity of performance data after the
nightly archive rotation by pmlogger_daily(1).
The hostname of the PMCD host may change during boot time when
the system transitions from a temporary hostname to a persistent
hostname, or by explicit administrative action anytime after the
system has been booted. When this happens, pmlogger may need to
take special action, specifically if the pmlogger instance was
launched from pmlogger_check(1) or pmlogger_daily(1), then
pmlogger must exit. Under normal circumstances systemd(1) or
cron(8) will launch a new pmlogger shortly thereafter, and this
new pmlogger instance will be operating in the context of the new
hostname for the host where PMCD is running.
As described in pmRegisterDerived(3), derived metrics provide a
mechanism for extending the PMNS with new metrics defined at the
PCP client-side using expressions over the existing performance
metrics. Derived metrics may be included in a pmlogger
configuration file, but they come with some special handling
rules.
First, the values of a derived metric, not the operand metrics in
the derived metric's expression, are stored in the archive. This
is because the definition of a derived metric exists independent
of pmlogger and archive and may be different, or not exist at
all, when archive is replayed.
To avoid ambiguity during archive replay each derived metric's
Performance Metric Identifier (PMID) is rewritten (or
``remapped'') to indicate that this was, but now is not, a
derived metric; refer to pmRegisterDerived(3) for a detailed
description of the PMID remapping.
The archives are sufficiently precious that pmlogger will not
truncate an existing physical file. A message of the form
...: "foo.index" already exists, not over-written
...: File exists
indicates this situation has arisen. You must explicitly remove
the files and launch pmlogger again.
There may be at most one primary pmlogger instance per monitored
host; attempting to bend this rule produces the error:
pmlogger: there is already a primary pmlogger running
Various other messages relating to the creation and/or deletion
of files in $PCP_TMP_DIR/pmlogger suggest a permission problem on
this directory, or some feral files have appeared therein.
archive.meta
metadata (metric descriptions, instance domains, etc.) for

pmlogger maintains the files in this directory as the map
between the process id of the pmlogger instance and the IPC
port that may be used to control each pmlogger instance (as
used by pmlc(1))

pmlogger(1) monitoring scripts such as pmlogger_check(1))

Normally pmlogger creates a socket to receive control messages
from pmlc(1) on the first available TCP/IP port numbered 4330 or
higher. The environment variable PMLOGGER_PORT may be used to
specify an alternative starting port number.
If set to the value 1, the PMLOGGER_LOCAL environment variable
will cause pmlogger to run in a localhost-only mode of operation,
where it binds only to the loopback interface.
The PMLOGGER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT variable may be set by applications
such as pmlc(1) to specify a timeout in seconds for connection
requests to the pmlogger control port. If not set, connections
may block indefinitely. This variable would not normally be set
by pmlogger itself.
The PMLOGGER_MAXPENDING variable can be set to indicate the
maximum length to which the queue of pending pmlc connections may
grow.
The default sampling interval used by pmlogger can be set using
the PMLOGGER_INTERVAL variable (if not set, 60 seconds will be
used). Both the command line and directives in the configuration
file will override this value. It is an integer in units of
seconds.
On platforms using systemd(1), and when the -N option is given,
the NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable would normally be set by
the service manager prior to launching pmlogger.
Two additional environment variables are used as part of the
hand-off from one pmlogger instance to the next during a re-exec
operation, namely __PMLOGGER_REEXEC and __PMLOGGER_TZ. The
details of how these are used is an internal implementation
detail, but end-users should avoid using variables of these names
in their shell's 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).
