            Bug ID: 1229458
           Summary: pmda Install should not start pmlogger
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: pcp
          Assignee: nathans@xxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: fche@xxxxxxxxxx
        QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A Makepkgs-built pcp git build (few days old) does a

   /usr/share/pcp/lib/pcp start

as a part of the pmdas/json/Install.  In turn this opines:

Starting pmcd ... 
/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger: Warning: Performance Co-Pilot archive logger(s)
not permanently enabled.
    To enable pmlogger, run the following as root:
    # /usr/bin/systemctl enable pmlogger.service
Starting pmlogger ... 

and indeed a pmlogger process is started.

But there is no need for a pmlogger on this machine.  Perhaps the admin prefers
pmmgr.  Perhaps there is no need for local logging at all.  The pmda-install
operation should at most suggest pmlogger, definitely not insist.  If it wants
to restart pmcd (due to pmda forced_restart=true), it should stick to
restarting pmcd.
