Collecting metrics

After starting the system, run your applications and collect metrics into an XML file. Use the -o option to specify the output metrics file. The -v option provides a verbose output. The -M option indicates custom or standard modes.

You can collect metrics either:

• Immediately, using the -T 0 option, or

• After t minutes, using the -T t option.

For example, the command below writes XML into a file named a2.xml. The custom mode is depicted within the <bestmode> tags.

QPTune -S host:port/database -A collect -T 0 
        -o a2.xml -v
