Most excellent. This is one of the pmlogger deployment options that

Good point. I'll add this to the TODO list for the next rev of the
PCP User and Admin Guide. For those that have not found this document yet,
try this long URL ...

The changes will be small, though. At the end of 7.3.2 add this
To create archive logs on the local host for performance metrics
collected from multiple remote hosts, repeat steps 1. to 5. above
for each host.

Do you need pmsocks for fncdf1 and fncdf2? Otherwise this looks OK to me.

These both seems OK.

You definitely need "n" in the second field of the control file for
each remote host.
With everything setup, can you please send me the output from running
the commands
# pmlogger_check -V
as root, and then
$ pminfo -f pmcd.pmlogger
$ ls -laR /export/farms/pcplogger/cdf
