PCP-ATOPRC(5) File Formats Manual PCP-ATOPRC(5)
pcp-atoprc - pcp-atop and pcp-atopsar resource file
This manual page documents the resource file of the pcp-atop and
pcp-atopsar commands. These commands can be used to monitor the
system and process load on a system.
The pcp-atoprc file contains the default settings. These settings
are read during startup, first from the system-wide rcfile
/etc/atoprc and after that from the user-specific rcfile
~/.atoprc (so system-wide settings can be overruled by an
individual user). The options in both rcfiles are identical.
The rcfile contains keyword-value pairs, one on every line (blank
lines and lines starting with a #-sign are ignored).
The following keywords can be specified:
flags
A list of default flags for pcp-atop can be defined here. The
flags which are allowed are 'B', 'H', 'g', 'm', 'd', 'n',
'u', 'p', 's', 'c', 'v', 'C', 'M', 'D', 'N', 'A', 'a', 'y',
'f', 'F', 'G', 'R', '1', 'e', 'E' and 'x'.
interval
The default interval value in seconds.
linelen
The length of a screen line when sending output to a file or
pipe (default 80).
username
The default regular expression for the users for which active
processes will be shown.
procname
The default regular expression for the process names to be
shown.
maxlinecpu
The maximum number of active CPUs that will be shown.
maxlinegpu
The maximum number of active GPUs that will be shown.
maxlinelvm
The maximum number of active logical volumes that will be
shown.
maxlinemdd
The maximum number of active multiple devices that will be
shown.
maxlinedisk
The maximum number of active disks that will be shown.
maxlinenfsm
The maximum number of NFS mounts that will be shown on an NFS
client.
maxlineintf
The maximum number of active network interfaces that will be
shown.
maxlinecont
The maximum number of active containers that will be shown.
cpucritperc
The busy percentage considered critical for a processor (see
section COLORS in the man-page of the pcp-atop command).
This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage
for line coloring and sorting of active processes in text
mode. When this value is zero, no line coloring or automatic
sorting is performed for this resource.
dskcritperc
The busy percentage considered critical for a disk (see
section COLORS in the man-page of the pcp-atop command).
This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage
for line coloring and sorting of active processes in text
mode. When this value is zero, no line coloring or automatic
sorting is performed for this resource.
netcritperc
The busy percentage considered critical for a network
interface (see section COLORS in the man-page of the pcp-atop
command). This percentage is used to determine a weighted
percentage for line coloring and sorting of active processes
in text mode. When this value is zero, no line coloring or
automatic sorting is performed for this resource.
memcritperc
The percentage considered critical for memory utilization
(see section COLORS in the man-page of the pcp-atop command).
This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage
for line coloring and sorting of active processes in text
mode. When this value is zero, no line coloring or automatic
sorting is performed for this resource.
swpcritperc
The occupation percentage considered critical for swap space
(see section COLORS in the man-page of the pcp-atop command).
This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage
for line coloring and sorting of active processes. When this
value is zero, no line coloring or automatic sorting is
performed for this resource.
swoutcritsec
The number of pages swapped out per second considered
critical for for memory utilization (see section COLORS in
the man-page of the pcp-atop command). This threshold is
used in combination with 'memcritperc' to determine a
weighted percentage for line coloring and sorting of active
processes. When this value is zero, no line coloring or
automatic sorting is performed for this resource.
almostcrit
A percentage of the critical percentage to determine if the
resource is almost critical (see section COLORS in the man-
page of the pcp-atop command). When this value is zero, no
line coloring for `almost critical' is performed.
cpubarwidth
Number of columns used per bar in the processor bar graph.
The default value is 0 which means that the bar width will be
scaled automatically (the wider the terminal, the more
columns per bar up to a maximum of three). With the value 1,
2 or 3 the number of bars can be statically pinned to that
number of columns, with one column of white space in between
the bars.
colorinfo
Definition of color name for information messages (default:
green) in text mode.
Allowed colors are: red green yellow blue magenta cyan black
white.
colorthread
Definition of color name for thread-specific lines when using
the 'y' option (default: yellow).
Allowed colors are: red green yellow blue magenta cyan black
white.
coloralmost
Definition of color name for almost critical resources
(default: cyan) in text mode.
Allowed colors are: red green yellow blue magenta cyan black
white.
colorcritical
Definition of color name for critical resources (default:
red) in text mode.
Allowed colors are: red green yellow blue magenta cyan black
white.
pcp-atopsarflags
A list of default flags for pcp-atopsar can be defined here.
The flags that are allowed are 'S', 'x', 'C', 'M', 'H', 'a',
'A' and the flags to select one or more specific reports.
An example of the /etc/atoprc or ~/.atoprc file:
flags Aaf
interval 5
username
procname
maxlinecpu 4
maxlinedisk 10
maxlineintf 5
cpucritperc 80

ownprocline PID:50 VGROW:40 RGROW:45 COMMAND-LINE:50
ownpagline PAGSCAN:3 BLANKBOX:0 PAGSWIN:3 PAGSWOUT:7
The keywords 'ownprocline' and 'ownpagline' are explained in the
subsequent section.
Via the rcfile it is possible to define the layout of the output
lines yourself, i.e. you can define the layout of one line with
process information with the keyword 'ownprocline' (to be
selected with the key 'o' or the flag -o) and you can redefine
all lines with system information.
The layout of an output-line can be defined as follows (notice
that this should be specified as one line in the rcfile):
keyword <columnid>:<prio> [<columnid>:<prio> ...]
The columnid is the symbolic name of a column that should shown
at this position in the output line.
The prio is a positive integer value that determines which
columns have precedence whenever not all specified columns fit
into the current screen-width. The higher value, the higher
priority.
The column-specifications should be separated by a space. The
order in which columns have been specified is the order in which
they will be shown, with respect to their priority (columns that
do not fit, will be dropped dynamically).
A special columnid for system lines is 'BLANKBOX'. This indicates
that an empty column is required at this position. Also this
special columnid is followed by a priority (usually low).
The following definition can be specified for process
information:
ownprocline
The columnids are the names of the columns that are shown in
the normal output of the process-related lines that are shown
by pcp-atop such as 'PID', 'CMD', 'S', .... The only
exception is the special columnid 'SORTITEM' that is used to
show one of the columns CPU%/DSK%/MEM%/NET%, depending on the
chosen sort-criterion.
An example of a user-defined process line:
ownprocline PID:20 PPID:10 SYSCPU:15 USRCPU:15 VGROW:14
VSIZE:12 RGROW:14 RSIZE:12 ST:8 EXC:7 S:11 SORTITEM:18
CMD:20
The following definitions are used internally by pcp-atop as the
default system lines (you can redefine each of them in the rcfile
as one line):
