pcp htop doesn't work with archive option

[sagarramdev173]

Hi,

I just figured out pcp-htop doesn't work with archives but other utilities like pcp-atop work with archives, was it done intentionally or I'm missing something?

@sagarramdev173 it's just not yet implemented (requires additional code in pcp-htop) ... currently I don't have time to work on it myself, but it'd be great if someone else does.

pcp-htop fields look similar to ps output, is it the one to behave like ps output or some other utility eg. "pcp-ps" work is in progress.

PCP separates sampling of metrics from reporting. There is no pcp-ps but it could certainly be implemented if you wish. You might find the existing pcp-pidstat has similar functionality too.
