This is the option that I use.  It's really not all that bad, plus, if we
somehow lost all of our other remote loggers, we'd at least have a history of
the load.

If you are worried about it filling up vast amounts of diskspace, I just
checked.  For a machine that has been running with this on since April it took
a total of 296k.  (du -hs /var/log/pcp/pmlogger).  This is on RedHat 6.1,
running pcp 2.1.4.

So I'd say leaving the local logger on is only going to cost you about 1 Meg a
year.
