Global top

The global top command shows SGM processor activity in real time. The default output also shows a list of the most processor-intensive processes. In addition to the standard functionality of the Linux top command, global top adds these features for the 61000/41000 Security System:

Global top relies on the user configuration for the local top utility. The command uses the local SGM configuration file for configuring the output on the remote SGMs.

Syntax

> top [local] [-f [-o <filename>] [-n <iter>] | -s <filename>] -b <sgm_ids> [<top_params>] [-h]

Parameter

Description

local

Use the local configuration file

-f

Export the output to a file

-o <filename>

File and path of the output file

Default: /vat/log/gtop.<time>

Use with: -f

-n <iter>

Number of iterations

Default: 1

Use with: -f

-b <sgm_ids>

Works with SGMs and/or Chassis as specified by <sgm_ids>.

<sgm_ids> can be:

  • No <sgm_ids> specified or all shows all SGMs and Chassis
  • One SGM
  • A comma-separated list of SGMs (1_1,1_4)
  • A range of SGMs (1_1-1_4)
  • One Chassis (Chassis1 or Chassis2)
  • The active Chassis (chassis_active)

 

<top_params>

Parameters of the standard top command

For more information, see the top documentation.

-s <filename>

Shows the content of the output file <filename>

Managing the g_top display

top uses a configuration file to manage output display. By default it copies and uses this configuration file from the local blade (usually located under ~/.toprc). This file is copied to all SGMs and is used when top is run.

To manage the g_top display:

  1. Run: top
  2. Set the desired display view.
  3. Save configuration (shift+w).
  4. Run: g_top

Sending output to a file

At times, it is more convenient to send g_top output to a file, for example, when there are more SGMs than the screen can handle. To enable the file mode use: -f
