systemd-cgtop

Order by control group path name.

Order by number of tasks/processes in the control group.

Order by CPU load.

Order by memory usage.

Order by disk I/O load.

Run in "batch" mode: do not accept input and run until the iteration limit set with --iterations= is exhausted or until killed. This mode could be useful for sending output from systemd-cgtop to other programs or to a file. Added in version 188.

Format byte counts (as in memory usage and I/O metrics) and CPU time with raw numeric values rather than human-readable numbers. Added in version 221.

Controls whether the CPU usage is shown as percentage or time. By default, the CPU usage is shown as percentage. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by pressing the % key. Added in version 226.

Count only userspace processes instead of all tasks. By default, all tasks are counted: each kernel thread and each userspace thread individually. With this setting, kernel threads are excluded from the count and each userspace process only counts as one task, regardless of how many threads it consists of. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by pressing the P key. This option may not be combined with -k. Added in version 227.

Count only userspace processes and kernel threads instead of all tasks. By default, all tasks are counted: each kernel thread and each userspace thread individually. With this setting, kernel threads are included in the count and each userspace process only counts as one task, regardless of how many threads it consists of. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by pressing the k key. This option may not be combined with -P. Added in version 226.

Controls whether the number of processes shown for a control group shall include all processes that are contained in any of the child control groups as well. Takes a boolean argument, which defaults to "yes". If enabled, the processes in child control groups are included, if disabled, only the processes in the control group itself are counted. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by pressing the r key. Note that this setting only applies to process counting, i.e. when the -P or -k options are used. It has no effect if all tasks are counted, in which case the counting is always recursive

Perform only this many iterations. A value of 0 indicates that the program should run indefinitely. Added in version 188.

A shortcut for --iterations=1. Added in version 238.

Specify refresh delay in seconds (or if one of "ms", "us", "min" is specified as unit in this time unit). This setting may also be increased and decreased at runtime by pressing the + and - keys.

Maximum control group tree traversal depth. Specifies how deep systemd-cgtop shall traverse the control group hierarchies. If 0 is specified, only the root group is monitored. For 1, only the first level of control groups is monitored, and so on. Defaults to 3.

Limit control groups shown to the part corresponding to the container MACHINE. This option may not be used when a control group path is specified. Added in version 227.
