Datasources

PCP Redis

This datasource queries the fast, scalable time series capabilities provided by the pmseries(1) functionality. It is intended to query historical data across multiple hosts and supports filtering based on labels.

PCP Vector

The PCP Vector datasource shows live, on-host metrics from the real-time pmwebapi(3) interfaces. It is intended for individual host, on-demand performance monitoring and includes container support.

PCP bpftrace

The PCP bpftrace datasource supports system introspection using bpftrace(8) scripts. It connects to the bpftrace PMDA and runs bpftrace scripts on the host.
