Имя (Name)
pmprobe - lightweight probe for performance metrics
Синопсис (Synopsis)
pmprobe [-dfFiILvVz?] [-a archive] [-b batchsize]
[--container=name] [--derived=file] [-h hostname] [-K spec] [-n
pmnsfile] [-O time] [-Z timezone] [metricname ...]
Описание (Description)
pmprobe determines the availability of performance metrics
exported through the facilities of the Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP).
The metrics of interest are named in the metricname arguments.
If metricname is a non-leaf node in the Performance Metrics Name
Space (PMNS(5)), then pmprobe will recursively descend the PMNS
and report on all leaf nodes. If no metricname argument is
given, the root of the namespace is used.
This recursive expansion of the PMNS can be inhibited by the -F
(go faster) option, which reduces the number of roundtrips to
pmcd(1) when the metricname arguments are known to be leaf nodes
ahead of time.
The output format is spartan and intended for use in wrapper
scripts creating configuration files for other PCP tools. By
default, there is one line of output per metric, with the metric
name followed by a count of the number of available values.
Error conditions are encoded as a negative value count (as per
the PMAPI(3) protocols, but may be decoded using pmerr(1)) and
followed by a textual description of the error.
Unless directed to another host by the -h option, pmprobe will
contact the Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD) on the
local host.
The -a option causes pmprobe to use the specified set of archives
rather than connecting to a PMCD.
The -L option causes pmprobe to use a local context to collect
metrics from PMDAs on the local host without PMCD. Only some
metrics are available in this mode.
The -a, -h and -L options are mutually exclusive.
Параметры (Options)
The available command line options are:
-a archive, --archive=archive
Performance metric values are retrieved from the set of
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archive log files identified by
the archive argument, which is a comma-separated list of
names, each of which may be the base name of an archive or
the name of a directory containing one or more archives.
-b, --batch
This option may be used to define the maximum number of
metrics to be fetched in a single request for the -v option
and any pmLookupName(3) request that pmprobe calls with a
list of leaf metric names. The default value for batchsize
is 128. This option is useful to avoid limitations on PDU
request sizes and also to stagger fetches, which may
otherwise timeout if pmcd(1) or a PMDA is slow to respond,
particularly if a large number of metrics are probed.
--container=container
Specify an individual container to be queried.
-d, --version
Display version number and exit.
--derived=dmfile
The dmfile argument specifies a file that contains derived
metric definitions in the format described for
pmLoadDerivedConfig(3). This option provides a way to load
derived metric definitions that is an alternative to the
more generic use of the PCP_DERIVED_CONFIG environment
variable as described in PCPIntro(1). Using the --derived
option and the PCP_DERIVED_CONFIG environment variable to
specify the same configuration is a bad idea, so choose one
or the other method.
-f, --force
When used with -i or -I the set of instances reported will
be all of those known at the source of the performance data.
By default the set of reported instances are those for which
values are currently available, which may be smaller than
the set reported with -f.
-F, --faster
Assume given metric names are PMNS leaf nodes.
-h host, --host=host
Connect to pmcd(1) on host, rather than on the default
localhost.
-i, --internal
Report the internal identifiers for each instance. The
values are in decimal and prefixed by ``?''. As a special
case, the literal string PM_IN_NULL is reported for singular
metrics.
-I, --external
Report the external identifiers for each instance. The
literal string PM_IN_NULL is reported for singular metrics.
-K spec, --spec-local=spec
When using the -L/ option to fetch metrics from a local
context, this option controls 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, --local-PMDA
Use a local context to collect metrics from DSO PMDAs on the
local host without PMCD. See also -K.
-n pmnsfile, --namespace=pmnsfile
Normally pmprobe operates on the distributed Performance
Metrics Name Space (PMNS), however, if the -n option is
specified an alternative local PMNS file is loaded from the
file pmnsfile.
-O time, --origin=time
When used in conjunction with an archive source of metrics
and the options -f/, the time argument defines a time origin
at which the metrics should be fetched from the set of
archives. Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a complete description
of this option, and the syntax for the time argument.
-v, --values
Report the value for each instance, as per the formatting
rules of pmPrintValue(3). When fetching from a set of
archives, only those instances present in the first archive
record for a metric will be displayed; see also the -O
option. The -v option is mutually exclusive with either the
-I or -i options.
-V, --verbose
This option provides a cryptic summary of the number of
messages sent and received across the PMAPI interface.
-z, --hostzone
Change the reporting timezone to the local timezone at the
host that is the source of the performance metrics, as
identified via either the -h or -a options.
-Z timezone, --timezone=timezone
By default, pmprobe reports the time of day according to the
local timezone on the system where pmprobe is run. The -Z
option changes the timezone to timezone in the format of the
environment variable TZ as described in environ(7).
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.

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).
For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see
pmGetOptions(3).
