[Bug 1118] New: pcp atop pmlogconf bloats default pcp logs

[bugzilla-daemon@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Bug ID	1118
Summary	pcp atop pmlogconf bloats default pcp logs
Product	pcp
Version	unspecified
Hardware	All
OS	Linux
Status	NEW
Severity	major
Priority	P5
Component	pcp
Assignee	pcp@kenj.com.au
Reporter	fche@redhat.com
CC	pcp@oss.sgi.com
Classification	Unclassified

The recently added src/pmlogconf/tools/atop* includes this:

ident   metrics used by the atop command
probe   kernel.uname.sysname ~ Linux ? include : exclude
delta   10 seconds
        disk.dev.read
        disk.dev.write
        [...130 lines omitted...]
        network.udp.inerrors
        network.udp.outdatagrams

This is transcribed by default pmlogconf commands, so it multiplies former
pmlogger default data intensity by a factor of six (since it formerly recorded
a similar set of metrics at 1/60s rate).  Some servers I've access to went from
20 MB/day to 120 MB/day of log data according to pmlogger -r.

Please consider rolling this back to the former 60s interval.
