I'm really excited to see an archive feature in PCPMON !

When I have done performance analysis and capacity planning for other operating
systems (OpenVMS, MVS), the typical use for archived data is to develop trend
analysis graphs. I would typically be looking at the utilization trends of key
system resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o, network i/o) over selected periods of
time (daily, weekly, monthly). I would also focus on those hours of the day that
are important to my user community ("prime shift").

Products I have used supported a variable sampling interval and a graphing
capability that allowed me to specify the date range and hours/per day to
present.

Can PCPMON produce a graphical representation of selected hours from multiple
days in its present form  (e.g. average cpu utilization this week between the
hours of 8 am and 5 pm) ?

Is it a direction of PCPMON to provide a similar capability or should I be
looking at applying generic plotting tools to the raw archives ?

Is a hard copy option for the graphs displayed planned ?



Many thanks for the effort in developing PCPMON thus far. Its a great real-time
tool as-is !
