pmlogredact - remove sensitive information from PCP archives

       Performance  Co-Pilot  (PCP)  archives  may  contain  a  wealth  of information collected from across all
       components of a system.

       Some of this information may be deemed sensitive outside the  context  of  the  original  collection  for
       analysis  of  system  performance.   Examples of sensitive information might include user names, paths to
       user home directories (that may imply user names), hostnames, IP addresses, MAC addresses,  command  line
       arguments, process environment variables, etc.

       pmlogredact  may  be  used  to  remove  sensitive  information  before  archives  are  shipped to another
       organization, or stored in another geography, or to meet regulatory or privacy  compliance.   The  output
       archive outarch is the redacted version of the input archive inarch.

       pmlogredact  is  a  thin  wrapper  around pmlogrewrite(1), and so the configuration files for pmlogredact
       follow the same syntax as the configuration files for pmlogrewrite(1).

       There are a default set of redaction rules in the $PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmlogredact/* files.   These  rules
       remove some metrics, rewrite the instance domains of some metrics and rewrite the values of some metrics.
       The -x (or --exclude-std) option may be used to not use the default set of rules.

       Additional  (or  alternative)  configuration files may be specified with one or more -c (or --config) op‐
       tions, where each config is either a file or a directory (implying all the files within that directory).

       The -v (or --verbose) option adds verbosity (and is passed directly to pmlogrewrite(1)).

       The -?  (or --help) option displays a usage message and exits.

       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).

pmlogrewrite(1), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5).
