It presents a unifying abstraction for all of the performance data in a system, and many tools for interrogating, retrieving and processing that data. PCP is a feature-rich, mature, extensible, cross-platform toolkit supporting both live and retrospective analysis. The distributed PCP architecture makes it especially useful for those seeking centralized monitoring of distributed processing. ## Installation For common Linux distributions with prebuilt Performance Co-Pilot packages you can follow the [Quick install instructions] [https://pcp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HowTos/installation/index.html]. See the [INSTALL](INSTALL.md) file for build, installation and configuration steps. ## Usage The [Performance Co-Pilot Quick Guides] [https://pcp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/QG/QuickGuides.html] provide information on how to perform basic tasks with Performance Co-Pilot.
