Folks,

Can the monitoring software run on a different platform that the collector software runs? Here the platforms refer to Linux, Windows and Mac OS X and etc.

For example, can we use the pmchart on the MacBook laptop running Mac OS X to monitor servers running Linux on which Linux version of the PCP collecting software, i.e. a PMCD and many PMDAs, runs to provide metrics? i.e. does PMAPI/libpcp supports cross-platform peers?

This isn't explicitly mentioned in PCP FAQ and I didn't find an answer with Google search either.

Thanks,
Jun
