Also, specifically about the question - you do not need to edit pmlogconf
files to achieve this, you can extend pmlogger configuration files directly.

Even if they were generated by pmlogconf, there is an editable section in
each file (e.g. /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger/config.default) which will be
preserved always - there's comments inline in the config files explaining
this further.

cheers.
