Re: [pcp-announce] Vector

Hi,

I tried that during my work for an Automotive client earlier this year
monitoring the Jenkins nodes with PCP.
After running into too many problems like "JS library X was would not run
on the Target Linux OS or had a missing dependency" I gave up on the idea
and we used the Vector binary with the widgets provided out of the box.
Some also felt a bit buggy, e.g. changing the time-window from 2 minutes to
something else or the refresh interval did not seem to have any effect. It
did for the Graphite Web UI but then unlike Vector those based everything
on UTC not the local (GMT) time zone ;-|

Cheers,
Werner
