Description of problem: This one is firmly in the nice-to-have category. pmlogger(1) can collect metrics without pmcd(1) using local DSO PMDAs with the -o option. PCPIntro(1) states that @ as host has a special meaning, it refers to PM_CONTEXT_LOCAL. However, when using pmgui.pmRecordAddHost, @ is used with the -h option and pmlogger fails to start. Since adding -h is currently hard-coded it's not possible, for example, to workaround this by adding -o with pmgui.pmRecordControl/PM_REC_SETARGS. So it would be nice to pass "-o" instead of "-h @" to pmlogger when the host is @. For the above to be fully usable, it should probably be possible to pass -K <spec> via the API as well. While PM_REC_SETARGS already should allow this, a Python client started with -K can't query its own parameters for -K so something like pmapi.pmGetOptionSpecLocal() would probably be needed. I'm not entirely sure would this be worth the effort but let's at least document the current situation here, just for the record.
This limitation concerns only the pmgui approach, pmi can be used instead to create archives with -L.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
