Documentation and tutorial for the Performance Co-Pilot
Documentation and tutorial for the Performance Co-Pilot
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) provides a framework and services to support
system-level performance monitoring and performance management.
The pcp-doc package provides useful information on using and
configuring the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) toolkit for system
level performance management. It includes tutorials, HOWTOs,
and other detailed documentation about the internals of core
PCP utilities and daemons, and the PCP graphical tools.
