Description of this Python Extension
-----------------------------
This python extension, called pcp, provides an interface to the
client C API
for SGI's open source Performance Co-Pilot. This is a very early
release and
some core functionality is missing, namely reading and writing
archive files.
A set of convenience classes is provided, which build upon the base
functionality of SGI's library. These convenience classes may change in
future releases, as use-cases evolve and feedback suggests. A sample
program
is included.
Description of SGI's Performance Co-Pilot
-----------------------------
Performance Co-Pilot is a distributed mechanism for measuring and
recording
the performance and activity of computers, networks, applications, and
servers. PCP also includes an inference engine that can trigger
responses
to measured conditions or events. Several hundred different operational
parameters can be measured from target machines, their operating
systems,
MySQL, Apache, Sendmail, VMWare, KVM, etc. There is a server-side
library
available for writing additional plug-in modules to measure any
custom target
application or server. There is a client-side library for writing custom
applications to collect and utilize measurements. This python
extension wraps
that client-side C library, libpcp. Performance Co-Pilot is known to
run on
Windows and many Unix/Linux variants.
Example Application

extensions
