"Something happened on the server at 2 o'clock in the morning; CPU usage was through the roof! But what was it; what happened during that 5 minute window that caused all the alerts?"
Every customer has had that kind of situation. Very often, log files and 'sar' reports do not come close to providing the information to investigate. Support staff are forced to tell customers "set up additional monitoring; if it happens again, maybe we will catch it." Yet, had that server been running RHEL’s Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) from the start, this troubleshooting limbo could be avoided.
See PCP installed with an included, good-for-most-situations configuration package that was authored by Red Hat engineers. Learn of PCP’s easy-to-use tools and see them executed, showing that their abilities exceed existing ones. Find out how easy it is to extend PCP to collect performance metrics unique to various services (Apache, PostgreSQL, etc.) running on RHEL. Make RHEL’s PCP a part of your standard operating environment!
This webinar will:
- Introduce you to Performance Co-Pilot (PCP).
- Show how to install PCP in standalone and distributed configurations.
- Familiarize you with PCP's basic commands.
- Show how to use PCP to monitor processes.
- Touch on how to extend PCP.
