Performance Co-Pilot or PCP is an open-source system performance monitoring framework for Linux systems. It provides real-time monitoring and analysis of system resources such as CPU usage, memory usage, I/O operations, and network utilization. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Performance Co-Pilot on Linux Mint Latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update your Linux Mint system to ensure that all packages are up to date. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T, then type the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Performance Co-Pilot is available in the default repositories of Linux Mint. You can easily install it using the following command:
sudo apt install pcp
Once the installation is complete, PCP will be installed on your system, and you can start using it right away.
To start Performance Co-Pilot, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo service pmcd start
This will start the PCP daemon, which is required for monitoring the system resources.
Now that Performance Co-Pilot is installed and running, you can use it to monitor system resources. The PCP toolkit comes with several command-line utilities that you can use to monitor various aspects of your system.
For example, to monitor the CPU usage of your system, you can use the pmstat command. Type the following command in the terminal:
pmstat
This will display real-time statistics about the CPU usage, memory usage, and other system resources.
To stop Performance Co-Pilot, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo service pmcd stop
This will stop the PCP daemon and stop the monitoring of the system resources.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Performance Co-Pilot on your Linux Mint system. You can now use it to monitor your system resources and optimize your system performance. If you have any questions or feedback regarding this tutorial, feel free to leave a comment below.
