Do the containers.pid metrics reflect valid pids for the running containers?
Does pmcd.feature.containers metric have value 1?  If both look OK, I'll need
you to dig further into where things are going off the rails in the libpcp/
pmcd connection setup (stepping through with gdb & finding where ENOTSUPP is
coming from).

Yep.  Any suggestions beyond what has already been done (the PMDA Install
and Remove scripts, default inclusion in pmcd.conf, and the how-to doc)?

cheers.
