SGI is pleased to announce the new version of Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
open source (version 2.2.2-11) is now available for download from
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download
This release contains mostly bug fixes but also contains some new
metrics and PMDAs. A list of changes since the last open source
release (which was version 2.2.1) is in /usr/doc/pcp-2.2.2/CHANGELOG
after installation, or at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html
The PCP homepage is at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp and you can join
the PCP mailing list via http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/mail.html
PCP is an extensible system monitoring package with a client/server
architecture. It provides a distributed unifying abstraction for all
interesting performance statistics in /proc and assorted applications
(e.g. Apache). The PCP library APIs are robust and well documented,
supporting rapid deployment of new and diverse sources of performance
data and the development of sophisticated performance monitoring tools.
There are binary RPMs for ia32 and ia64, the source RPM and tar.gz files.
The source should also build and work for Linux-ppc, Linux-alpha and
most other Linux platforms.
SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this and earlier
releases, especially Michal Kara, Laurent Demailly, Alan Baily, Alexander
L. Belikoff, Brian Harvell, Eric Roman, Gilly <gilly@xxxxxxxxxx>, Troy
Dawson, Thomas Graichen, Luc Stepniewski, Martin Knoblauch, Micah Altman,
the SGI PCP engineering team, and others.
Thanks
