>From the above URL: Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and services to support system-level performance monitoring and performance management. The services offered by PCP are especially attractive for those tackling harder system-level performance problems. For example this may involve a transient performance degradation, or correlating end-user quality of service with platform activity, or diagnosing some complex interaction between resource demands on a single system, or management of performance on large systems with lots of "moving parts". The news page mentioned that someone had made Debian packages, but the URL to them was broken. It might be worth looking into trying to find the packager and/or his/her packages. I haven't actually tried this software, but it looks cool, and the stuff from SGI is generally high-quality. There is also a neato looking GTK+ frontend at <URL:http://k332.feld.cvut.cz/~lemming/projects/pcpmon.html> that looks like it would also be worth packaging.
