How to print the list of TOP resource consuming processes

[soumya]

Hi,

I'm getting Memory & CPU utilization alerts very frequently. While logging into the server I'm seeing all have come back to normal (most of the time). Is there any way I can print the utilization stats for TOP 10 resource consuming processes in Trigger description, so that I can see which are the processes consumes resources on that time. kindly help


Thank You.

You could create a UserParameter to monitor it in JSON. Something like

In this case, ordered by CPU usage:

 ps aux | sort -nrk 3,3 | head -n 10 | awk '
BEGIN { ORS = ""; print " [ "}
{ printf "%s{\"user\": \"%s\", \"pid\": \"%s\", \"cpu\": \"%s\", \"mem\": \"%s\", \"cmd\": \"%s\"}",
      separator, $1, $2, $3, $4, $11
  separator = ", "
}
END { print " ] " }';

(Ps aux to json thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ps-aux-to-json)

Or you can monitor processes individually, creating an item to each one of them.

Thank You brunohl for your suggestion. How can i do this for windows systems as well ?

Well, if you run Powershell you can use ps aux command as well, but you would have to parse it some way.
