Re: Visuals using PCP

[Sai p Seshasayee <sseshas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nathan,

Thanks a lot. I was not able to find
the rpm for qt4-doc in "http://oss.sgi.com/~nathans/" . I found
it another website and installed it.

Now when I used the kmchart command
and got the following error:

[root@xcat20mn trace]# kmchart
kmchart: cannot connect to X server

I am using Linux and the qt4-doc which
I installed was not for Linux. Could that be the problem? Please get back
to me regarding the same.

Also will the graphs be shown in the
linux console or in a web browser?


Thanks and Regards

Once you've installed the pcp and kmchart rpms (from oss.sgi.com), then
have a look through these man pages:
- pmlogger_daily(1)
- kmchart(1)
- kmsnap(1)

You do not need to have a web server installed.

cheers.
