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).
-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 log size exceeds endsize.
-t interval, --interval=interval
Specify the logging interval. The default value is 60
seconds.
-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 log volumes after reaching log volume size volsize.
-V version, --version=version
Specify log 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
