💅 REPOSDUMP — the Linux Programmers Manual moment

okay bestie, so you know how reposd(8) has been out here collecting metrics like it's running a whole influencer empire? yeah, reposdump is the tool that lets you download the receipts. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

reposdump — utility for dumping SBLIM Data Gatherer online metric repository

like literally that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

reposdump [age] [interval] [directory]

three optional lil slots, all of them vibing in square brackets 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so reposdump is the program you run when you wanna dump the metrics out of the reposd(8) daemon's online repository. the metric data gets exported into a flat text file. simple. clean. slay.

that file is organized into sections, and the sections are seperated by lines that look exactly like this:

===metricdefs <pluginname>===

===metricvals <pluginname>===

every section holds a list of comma seperated records — either the defined metric, or the metric values. iykyk 🍓

and bestie, there's a whole sample perl script included at /usr/share/reposd2csv.pl that shows you how to convert that dump data into a comma seperated value list (CSV) — perfect for importing straight into a spreadsheet. obsessed. 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • age — the maximum sample age, in seconds, that you want dumped. old samples? not invited to the party. 💀
  • interval — the sample interval granularity, in seconds, that you want dumped.
  • directory — the directory where you want the metric file dumped. pick your venue wisely 🎀
