pcp-verify — verify aspects of a PCP installation
Synopsis
Description
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.
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.
Diagnostics
pcp-verify will exit with a non-zero status if it finds anything worth reporting, otherwise it is silent and returns zero.
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).
