объединить несколько версий Performance Co-Pilot PMNS (merge multiple versions of a Performance Co-Pilot PMNS)

Имя (Name)

pmnsmerge - merge multiple versions of a Performance Co-Pilot
       PMNS

Синопсис (Synopsis)

$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmnsmerge [-adfxv] infile [...]  outfile

Описание (Description)

pmnsmerge merges multiple instances of a Performance Metrics Name
       Space (PMNS), as used by the components of the Performance Co-
       Pilot (PCP).

Each infile argument names a file that includes the root of a PMNS, of the form

root { /* arbitrary stuff */ }

The order in which the infile files are processed is determined by the presence or absence of embedded control lines of the form

#define _DATESTAMP YYYYMMDD

Files without a control line are processed first and in the order they appear on the command line. The other files are then processed in order of ascending _DATESTAMP.

The -a option suppresses the argument re-ordering and processes all files in the order they appear on the command line.

The merging proceeds by matching names in PMNS, only those new names in each PMNS are considered, and these are added after any existing metrics with the longest possible matching prefix in their names. For example, merging these two input PMNS

root { root { surprise 1:1:3 mine 1:1:1 mine 1:1:1 foo foo yawn yours 1:1:2 } } foo { foo { fumble 1:2:1 mumble 1:2:3 stumble 1:2:2 stumble 1:2:2 } } yawn { sleepy 1:3:1 }

Produces the resulting PMNS in out.

root { mine 1:1:1 foo yours 1:1:2 surprise 1:1:3 yawn } foo { fumble 1:2:1 stumble 1:2:2 mumble 1:2:3 } yawn { sleepy 1:3:1 }

To avoid accidental over-writing of PMNS files, outfile is expected to not exist when pmnsmerge starts. The -f option allows an existing outfile to be unlinked (if possible) and truncated before writing starts.

Normally duplicate names for the same Performance Metric Identifier (PMID) in a PMNS are allowed. The -d option is the default option and is included for backwards compatibility. The -x option reverses the default and pmnsmerge will report an error and exit with a non-zero status if a duplicate name is found for a PMID in any of the input PMNS files or in the merged output PMNS.

The -v option produces one line of diagnostic output as each infile is processed.

Once all of the merging has been completed, pmnsmerge will attempt to load the resultant namespace using pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3) - if this fails for any reason, outfile will still be created, but pmnsmerge will report the problem and exit with non-zero status.

Using pmnsmerge with a single input argument allows that PMNS file to be checked. In addition to syntactic checking, specifying -x will also enable a check for duplicate names for all PMIDs.


Параметры (Options)

The available command line options are:

-a Process files in command line order.

-d, --dupok Allow duplicate metric names per PMID. This is the default.

-f, --force Overwrite output file if it already exists.

-v, --verbose Verbose input processing.

-x, --nodups Do not allow duplicate metric names per PMID.

-?, --help Display usage message and exit.


Предостережение (Caveat)

Once the writing of the new outfile file has begun, the signals
       SIGINT, SIGHUP and SIGTERM will be ignored to protect the
       integrity of the new file.

Окружение PCP (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(5).
