proctop.stp: Periodically print process info while keeping a history Description: Every 5 seconds, print out a list of 25 processes that took the most system time with information about the processes. Includes information on processes that may have exited while the script was running. The script contains configuration options listed in the script source. $ stap proctop.stp -T 12 5 seconds: showing 25 out of 54 tasks PID Process State VirtMem RSSMem ShrdMem CPU Time User Time 2236 pulseaudio S 643694592 8724480 6864896 7094425000000 2978547000000 1158 Xorg S 223195136 28401664 9035776 5774527000000 4390357000000 12744 qemu-system-x86 S 4969811968 2215833600 7876608 2569998000000 62426178000000 2741 tmux S 143491072 17453056 2449408 1325262000000 2353978000000 9032 firefox S 3280347136 1484169216 77258752 1281250000000 102632316000000 7345 qemu-system-x86 S 4983103488 2269044736 7933952 1225863000000 7366649000000 9145 plugin-containe S 1173696512 121954304 41582592 1129882000000 4464864000000 2633 xchat S 702238720 28114944 15888384 467695000000 2456379000000 24798 xfwm4 S 507027456 13905920 10489856 331524000000 732607000000 2140 xfce4-panel S 598822912 16449536 11145216 187518000000 1842513000000 2131 xfce4-session S 442097664 8134656 6328320 80346000000 133387000000 7 rcu_sched S 0 0 0 52510000000 0 2239 xscreensaver S 199114752 5754880 4874240 48930000000 43000000000 8 rcuos/0 S 0 0 0 42512000000 0 0 swapper/0 R 0 0 0 38474000000 0 846 rngd S 4468736 1282048 1253376 33684000000 69954000000 10 rcuos/2 S 0 0 0 33366000000 0 2389 pool S 654041088 13492224 4538368 29291000000 35436000000 976 NetworkManager S 454553600 6369280 4857856 28305000000 123014000000 7410 vhost-7345 S 4983103488 2269044736 7933952 23621000000 0 869 in:imjournal S 822587392 8859648 8499200 23447000000 13619000000 4284 xfce4-terminal S 778174464 24412160 18997248 23330000000 152980000000 22385 python2 S 2573504512 13864960 7249920 13122000000 61526000000 523 systemd-journal S 111550464 36225024 33824768 12646000000 3644000000 8501 python2 S 2573733888 16203776 7573504 11809000000 55554000000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 seconds: showing 25 out of 58 tasks PID Process State VirtMem RSSMem ShrdMem CPU Time User Time 2236 pulseaudio S 643694592 8724480 6864896 7094446000000 2978555000000 1158 Xorg S 223195136 28401664 9035776 5774528000000 4390357000000 12744 qemu-system-x86 S 4969811968 2215833600 7876608 2569998000000 62426178000000 2741 tmux S 143491072 17453056 2449408 1325262000000 2353978000000 9032 firefox S 3280347136 1486053376 77258752 1281262000000 102633852000000 7345 qemu-system-x86 S 4983103488 2269044736 7933952 1225863000000 7366649000000 9145 plugin-containe S 1173696512 121954304 41582592 1129887000000 4464898000000 2633 xchat S 702238720 28114944 15888384 467696000000 2456379000000 1021 wpa_supplicant S 60608512 10592256 4325376 339374000000 32641000000 24798 xfwm4 S 507027456 13905920 10489856 331524000000 732607000000 849 irqbalance S 19599360 2162688 2060288 237728000000 39968000000 2140 xfce4-panel S 598822912 16449536 11145216 187518000000 1842513000000 2131 xfce4-session S 442097664 8134656 6328320 80346000000 133387000000 7 rcu_sched S 0 0 0 52510000000 0 2239 xscreensaver S 199114752 5754880 4874240 48930000000 43000000000 8 rcuos/0 S 0 0 0 42512000000 0 0 swapper/0 R 0 0 0 38474000000 0 846 rngd S 4468736 1282048 1253376 33684000000 69954000000 10 rcuos/2 S 0 0 0 33366000000 0 2389 pool S 654041088 13492224 4538368 29291000000 35436000000 976 NetworkManager S 454553600 6369280 4857856 28305000000 123014000000 7410 vhost-7345 S 4983103488 2269044736 7933952 23621000000 0 869 in:imjournal S 822587392 8859648 8499200 23447000000 13619000000 4284 xfce4-terminal S 778174464 24412160 18997248 23330000000 152980000000 39 khugepaged S 0 0 0 18809000000 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the default configuration of the proctop.stp script. It sorts based on cpu time, and only shows a max of 25 processes. A configuration that might be useful would be to sort by the state to see a short list of the processes that have stopped while the script was running. $ stap proctop.stp -T 12 -G show=5 -G sort=state -G sortby=decrease 5 seconds: showing 5 out of 61 tasks PID Process State VirtMem RSSMem ShrdMem CPU Time User Time 12319 systemd-udevd DEAD 0 0 0 0 0 9032 Timer S 3280166912 1453039616 76521472 1288175000000 104009126000000 12318 stapio S 129527808 860160 782336 18000000 3000000 7 rcu_sched S 0 0 0 52576000000 0 10 rcuos/2 S 0 0 0 33408000000 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 seconds: showing 5 out of 74 tasks PID Process State VirtMem RSSMem ShrdMem CPU Time User Time 12319 systemd-udevd DEAD 0 0 0 0 0 12323 bash DEAD 0 0 0 0 0 12324 git DEAD 0 0 0 1000000 0 12325 bash DEAD 0 0 0 1000000 0 12326 git DEAD 0 0 0 0 0 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
