SGI is pleased to announce the new version of Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
open source (version 2.3.2-4) is now available for download from
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download
This is a minor release containing bug fixes, some code cleanups
and a few new metrics. A list of changes since the last open source
release (which was version 2.3.1-4) is in /usr/doc/pcp-2.3.2/CHANGELOG
after installation, or at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html
There are pre-built RPMs for i386 and ia64 platforms in the above ftp
directory. Other platforms will need to build RPMs from either the SRPM
or from the tarball, e.g. :
# tar xvzf pcp-2.3.2-4.src.tar.gz
# cd pcp-2.3.2
# ./Makepkgs
PCP is an extensible system monitoring package with a client/server
architecture. It provides a distributed unifying abstraction for all
interesting performance statistics in /proc and assorted applications
(e.g. Apache). The PCP library APIs are robust and well documented,
supporting rapid deployment of new and diverse sources of performance
data and the development of sophisticated performance monitoring tools.
The PCP homepage is at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp and you can join
the PCP mailing list via http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/mail.html
SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this and earlier releases.
Thanks
