Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a system performance monitoring tool that provides a unified view across all systems and applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install PCP on Void Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your Void Linux system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
To install PCP, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S pcp pcp-webapi pcp-exporters
This will install the PCP system and the webapi and exporters packages needed for monitoring various systems and applications.
To enable the PCP services, run the following commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/pcp /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/pcp-webapi /var/service/
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/pcp-exporters /var/service/
This will create symbolic links for the PCP services to start at boot time.
To start the PCP services, run the following commands:
sudo sv start pcp
sudo sv start pcp-webapi
sudo sv start pcp-exporters
This will start the PCP system, the webapi and exporters services.
To verify that PCP is working correctly, run the following command:
pcp -h localhost -a uptime
This will display the system uptime.
If you see the correct output, then the PCP installation is successful.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install PCP on Void Linux. With PCP, you can now monitor and analyze the performance of your systems and applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
