- There are two ways to install PCP on RHEL systems:
- Use pcp-zeroconf package (recommended way)
- Install the pcp package itself
- If you install pcp-zeroconf it pulls the pcp as a dependency but it is not other way.
- Upon installation of pcp-zeroconf it tunes the pmlogger to collect the samples per 10 seconds in archives.
- But if customer chooses to install the pcp package itself instead of pcp-zeroconf then pmlogger collects samples per 10 minutes in archives.
- While supporting customers we have came across of many cases where customers have preferred to install pcp package instead of pcp-zeroconf and while debugging the 10 minutes of interval made the perf data almost useless.
- So we need to end this discrepancy by:
- keeping only one package to install the pcp stack.
- If both packages are necessary then both the package should follow the same settings especially the 10 seconds of interval.
- If customer choses to install only PCP package then pull the pcp-zeroconf as a dependency.
