pcp-manager

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) manager daemon

An optional daemon (pmmgr) that manages a collection of pmlogger and pmie daemons, for a set of discovered local and remote hosts running the performance metrics collection daemon (pmcd). It ensures these daemons are running when appropriate, and manages their log rotation needs (which are particularly complex in the case of pmlogger). The base PCP package provides comparable functionality through cron scripts which predate this daemon but do still provide effective and efficient log management services. The pcp-manager package aims to aggressively enable new PCP features and as a result may not be suited to all production environments.

System level performance monitoring and performance management

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and services to support system-level performance monitoring and performance management. The Performance Co-Pilot provides a unifying abstraction for all of the interesting performance data in a system, and allows client applications to easily retrieve and process any subset of that data.
