This is it for pmlogrewrite for the first time around.

Awesome!

 

pmlogrewrite was hatched over pizza and beers, after a couple of years
of underground gestation ... it was supposed to be a "small" project,
but did not quite pan out the way ... compared to other PCP components,
pmlogrewrite:

- 22% more lines of flex source than the nearest contender (dbpmda)
- 41% more lines of bison source than the nearest contender (pmie)
- only pmie and pmcd have more words in their man pages
- 1,300+ lines of QA shell scripts
- 12,300+ lines of qualified QA output

... and a bit scary.  :)

 

Just as well I'm retired ... 8^)>

ps if we want to do it, handling the linux pmda split for proc metrics
really _does_ work

Yes, I think we should tackle this in a future release.  Speaking of which, hoping to get back to 3.5.9 later this week / early next, as some other deadlines pass ... will pull this set in.

cheers.
