dcpiflush(1)

NAME

dcpiflush - Flush all unsaved samples to profile database.

SYNOPSIS

dcpiflush

DESCRIPTION

Dcpiflush flushes all unsaved in-memory samples to their associated profiles in the on-disk profile database. This command is useful for explicitly forcing all samples to nonvolatile storage.

Samples are normally only saved to disk periodically (e.g. every few minutes), or when driver buffer space is running low. The dcpiquit(1) and dcpiepoch(1) commands also flush all unsaved samples to disk.

Dcpiflush is structured as a client application that sends a message to the dcpid(1) daemon to flush all unsaved samples. The dcpid(1) daemon also logs summary statistics in response to each message from dcpiflush(1).
