PMIE2COL(1) General Commands Manual PMIE2COL(1)
pmie2col - convert pmie output to multi-column format
pmie2col [-d delimiter] [-p precision] [-w width]
pmie2col is a simple tool that converts output from pmie(1) into
regular column format. Each column is 7 characters wide (by default,
may be changed with the -w option) with a single space between
columns. That single space can be substituted with an alternate
delimiter using the -d option (this is useful for importing the data
into a spreadsheet, for example).
The precision of the tabulated values from pmie can be specified with
the -p option (default is 2 decimal places). This option can and
will override any width setting in order to present the requested
precision.
The pmie(1) configuration must follow these rules:
(1) Each pmie(1) expression is of the form ``NAME = expr;''. NAME
will be used as the column heading, and must contain no white
space, although special characters can be escaped by enclosing
NAME in single quotes.
(2) The ``expr'' must be a valid pmie(1) expression that produces
a singular value.
In addition, pmie(1) must be run with the -v command line option.
It is also possible to use the -e command line to pmie(1) and output
lines will be prefixed by a timestamp.
Given this pmie(1) configuration file (config):
loadav = kernel.all.load #'1 minute';
'%usr' = kernel.all.cpu.user;
'%sys' = kernel.all.cpu.sys;
'%wio' = kernel.all.cpu.wait.total;
'%idle' = kernel.all.cpu.idle;
'max-iops' = max_inst(disk.dev.total);
Then this command pipeline:
$ pmie -v -t 5 <config | pmie2col -w 8
Produces output like this:
loadav %usr %sys %wio %idle max-iops

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).
