pcp-verify - Man Page

pcp verify [-a archive] [-D debug] [-h host] [-csvV?]

pcp-verify inspects various aspects of a PCP collector installation and reports on whether it is configured correctly for certain modes of operation.

By default, pcp-verify checks that PMCD is running and no agents are in a failed state. These checks can be extended and refined using the command line options.

The available command line options are:

-a archive, --archive=archive

Use the archive for verification.

-c,  --containers

Verify the collector installation for monitoring containers.

-h host, --host=host

Connect to the PMCD on host for verification.

-s,  --secure

Verify that the required components for encrypted communication are in place.

-v,  --verbose

Increase the verbosity, and report on each check as it is made. In the absence of any issues found, pcp-verify operates silently.

-V,  --version

Display version number and exit.

-?,  --help

Display usage message and exit.

pcp-verify will exit with a non-zero status if it finds anything worth reporting, otherwise it is silent and returns zero.

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).

The -D or --debug option enables the output of additional diagnostics on stderr to help triage problems, although the information is sometimes cryptic and primarily intended to provide guidance for developers rather end-users. debug is a comma separated list of debugging options; use pmdbg(1) with the -l option to obtain a list of the available debugging options and their meaning.
