Details

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) collects OS and network metrics that you can use to diagnose performance issues. PCP is a distributed architecture with collector hosts and monitor hosts.

  • PCP refers to the monitored hosts as collector hosts. These hosts require a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA), which is responsible for collecting performance measurements. The Performance Metrics Collector Daemon or pmcd controls all PMDAs on the same hosts.

  • PCP monitor hosts display data collected from hosts, or archives, that have the PCP collector installed. The core PCP package includes many monitor tools.

In this tutorial, you will learn:

  • Configure one Oracle Linux host as a PCP collector and monitor
  • Use PCP monitoring tools on a single host
  • Configure remote monitoring of a second Oracle Linux host
  • Monitor performance with pmchart GUI

Prerequisites
