You are free to rename measurement configuration files.
Specifying Option Values in Measurement Configuration Files
You can specify options on the command line, in a measurement configuration file, or in the
.caliperinit file. See “Multiple Ways to Specify HP Caliper Option Values” (p. 47).
Using the Command Line to Override Measurement Configuration File Parameters
You can use the HP Caliper command line to override parameters specified in measurement configuration files.
For example, to override the sampling_spec setting in pmu_trace, use a command like this:
$ caliper pmu_trace
To override the events to be measured in ecount on
$ caliper ecount
To override the kernel stop functions and get all frames in the cstack on
$ caliper cstack
