This tool is a highly-integrated graphical front-end accompanying Collect. Working in conjunction with cfilt, a tool that allows arbitrary extraction of data from the output of Collect to standard output, collgui allows a user to quickly analyze Collect data by generating a graphical display.
For more information, see the collgui(8) reference page.
The following operation notes may help you with your use of collgui:
The -c option has been added to collgui. If your platform (for example, any of the Compaq AlphaServer GS series systems) supports dynamic hardware configuration changes, invoking collgui with the -c option will cause collgui to reflect changes that occur during the collection period. Currently, CPU is the only device change collgui recognizes. If your platform does not support these changes do not use this option.
The following changes may be of interest to early adopters of Collect and collgui:

This Perl kit is also available if you want to use the GUI or filter scripts:
The above setld kit for Perl includes the Tk extension. If you want to use the graphical user interface for Collect, collgui, you must get this kit and install it using the standard software installation utility setld.
If you already have Perl, you may not have the Tk extension for Perl (not the same as Tcl/Tk). You can still use cfilt. Edit /usr/bin/cfilt and set the path of Perl to where you have Perl installed. If you also have Tk for Perl, you need to edit /usr/bin/collgui and set the path in the same way.
