This is the command mrtg2pcp that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
mrtg2pcp - import MRTG data and create a PCP archive
SYNOPSIS
mrtg2pcp hostname devname timezone infile outfile
DESCRIPTION
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 achive may be used with all the 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.
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).
