The RMF agent that runs inside the Linux on System z guest was re-written the other year and changed the interface. We chose not to update the Performance Toolkit handling of that interface as other things have changed since the introduction of the RMF agent to Linux. You can still use the RMF client (the link provided earlier will point to information ont that) that supports z/OS as well. There was a statement of direction in 2011 for these changes.
Performance Toolkit will report on the z/VM Appldata that Linux provides on all the current distributions. While this doesn't provide process level information, it does provide a Linux view of some important metrics. It is also very low overhead. Additionally, OMEGAMON XE for z/VM and Linux provides both the z/VM and the Linux agents. Perhaps not the first choice for a PoC, but wanted to mention for completeness.
