_pcp_ rebased to version 3.11.3
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a suite of tools, services, and libraries for acquisition, archiving, and analysis of system-level performance measurements. The package has been upgraded to version 3.11.3. Highlighted improvements include:
* `pcp-ipcs` - new command to show inter-process communication
* `pcp-atopsar` - new PMAPI sar command based on http://atoptool.nl
* `pcp-vmstat` - wrapper for `pmstat` modified to more closely resemble `vmstat`
* `libpcp` - new *fetchgroup* API
* `pmdamic` - new PMDA for Intel MIC card metrics
* `pmdaslurm` - new PMDA exporting HPC scheduler metrics
* `pmdapipe` - command output event capture PMDA
* `pmdaxfs` - support for per-device XFS metrics
* `pmdavmware` - updated to work with current VMWare Perl API
* `pmdaperfevent` - variety of improvements surrounding derived metrics; added reference clock cycles for NHM and WSM
* `pmdaoracle` - Oracle database metrics available and updated
* `pmdads389` - added normalized dn cache metrics
* `pmdalinux` - added metrics for per numa node memory bandwidth, shared memory segments, IPC, MD driver stats, transparent-huge-page zero page alloc counters, NVME devices, IPv6 metrics
* `pmdaelasticsearch` - restrict to local node metrics by default and adjust to *elasticsearch* API change
* `pmdaxfs` - support for per-device XFS metrics
* `pmrep` - powerful and versatile metric-reporting utility
* `pmlogconf` - support for automatic recording of Oracle database, nginx, elasticsearch, memcache, and application metrics supplied by `mmv`
* `zbxpcp` - Zabbix Agent loadable module for *PCP* metrics supporting Zabbix v2 and v3 simultaneously
* `pmcd` - support for starting PMDAs via `pmdaroot`, allowing restart on PMDA failure without restarting `pmcd` itself
* `sar2pcp` - support for additional `mem.util` metrics and _sysstat-11.0.1_ commands
* `pmmgr` - added general monitor-program launching option
* `pcp-atop` - updated with latest `atop` features (especially NFS-related)
* `libpcp` - allowed the name of a server certificate to be customized; added support for permanent, global derived metrics, and multi-archive contexts
* `pmdaproc` - *cgroup* `blkio` throttle throughput and IOPS metrics
* `pcp-iostat` - added the `-R` flag for device-name matching using regular expressions and the `-G` flag for *sum*, *avg*, *min*, or *max statistics*
* `pmieconf` - new rule to automate restarting of unresponsive PMDAs |
