Aggregate processes information

The diagnose sys top-summary CLI command shows the top aggregate processes information.

The following commands can be used while the command is running:

h or ?

Show the list of available commands

q or <Ctrl> C

Quit, and return to the command prompt.

m

Sort by memory consumption.

c

Sort by CPU percentage.

f

Sort by the number of open file descriptors.

p

Sort by PID.

k or <Up>

Go up in the list of processes.

j or <Down>

Go down in the list of processes.

<Enter> or <Space>

Toggle the process tree.

Syntax

diagnose sys top-summary <options>

Options

Description

-n LINES or --num=LINES

The number of top processes to show (default = 20).
-i INTERVAL or --interval=INTERVAL The update interval, in seconds (default = 1).
-s SORT or --sort=SORT

The sort mode:

  • cpu_percent: Sort by CPU percentage (default).
  • mem: Sort be memory consumption,
  • fds: Sort by the number of open file descriptors.
  • pid: Sort by PID.

-h or --help

Show the help message and exit.

Example output

# diagnose sys top-summary ‘-n 5 --sort=mem’

The output shows five lines, sorted in descending order by memory consumption.

  • ^ indicates the parameter that the information is sorted by.
  • * indicates the currently active line.

Press c to sort the processes by CPU utilization, then press <Down> four times to select the miglogd parent instance, and then press <Enter> to see details about the child instance:
