mrtg2pcp - import MRTG data and create a PCP archive

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 archive may be used with all 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.

       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).
