RHEL7/8: in 'pcp dstat' output I see 'missed clock ticks' on systems with many devices
Issue
I see the following in pcp dstat output:
You did not select any stats, using -cdngy by default.
----total-usage---- -dsk/total- -net/total- ---paging-- ---system--
usr sys idl wai stl| read writ| recv send| in out | int csw
77 17 0 5 0|6558M 248M| 27M 20M| 0 0 | 782k 553k missed 6 ticks
73 19 0 7 0|5066M 234M| 32M 25M| 0 0 |2454k 2113k missed 10 ticks
Is the 'missed ticks' output normal?
