Hi @Ultrapeer

Thanks to you for this querie and welcome here 🙂

Metrics (and `cockpit-pcp`) should be handled with first installing the FreedomBox System/Performance [app](https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual#FreedomBox.2FManual.2FPerformance.Performance_.28System_Monitoring.29).

By the way, I also actually get some troubles with testing version and Olimex LIME2 SBC as you may want to see in this [last feedback](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/munin-use-case-long-term-monitoring/846/6).

My guess, so far, is about the way `pcp` store its _time serial data_ as mentioned [there](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/15039#issuecomment-775950280).

Can you let us know about the device and FreedomBox version you are using ?
