I'm looking at the Req. doc now, and the only one that I wouldn't be
comfortable with saying is covered is the performance one (4.1.5)
because I've not the hands on experience with that.  If Todd is
comfortable there, then I would be too.  I think PCP well covers all of
the other points (with limitations and future work directions as
described by Todd.)
[Todd Davis] The Performance Metric Collection Daemon (pmcd) meets the
requirement. Since number of monitoring processes, Performance Metric
Inference Engine (pmie) processes, that are created and the monitoring
parameters such as the frequency of the sampling, configurations of pmies
could cause this requirement to be exceeded. PCP reasonably configured to
generate alerts would easily meet this requirement. PCP configured for
intensive performance analysis could exceed the 1% CPU utilization limit.
