RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

The Atop does not show the process of accounting information since the feature is not implemented yet. As per my basic understanding the new PMDA has to be written to implement it.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pcp-4.3.0-3.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply run the atop
2. 

Actual results:

Shows the 'no procacct' error message. 

Expected results:
It should show the process accounting information

Additional info:

If added it would be a great feature in solving RHEL performance issues.

Quick update: pcp-5.2.0 is adding the acct.* metrics to pmdaproc needed to implement this feature in pcp-atop, thanks largely to an engineer working at Fujitsu (Shogo Matsumoto).  I believe he is also planning to work on pcp-atop next - but either way this RFE has gone a long way toward completion as a result of that recent work.
