Chapter 2. Metrics solution components
Red Hat recommends using the Performance Co-Pilot to collect and archive Satellite metrics.
- Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
- Performance Co-Pilot is a suite of tools and libraries for acquiring, storing, and analyzing system-level performance measurements. You can use PCP to analyze live and historical metrics in the CLI.
- Performance Metric Domain Agents (PMDA)
- A Performance Metric Domain Agent is a PCP add-on which enables access to metrics of an application or service. To gather all metrics relevant to Satellite, you have to install PMDA for Apache HTTP Server and PostgreSQL.
- Grafana
- A web application that visualizes metrics collected by PCP. To analyze metrics in the web UI, you have to install Grafana and the Grafana PCP plugin.
