A simple recorder for cpu and memory usage of processes.
Currently, linux as well as macos are supported. Results are outputted in machine parsable format to stdout or can be directly plotted using gnuplot (must be in $PATH
).
Unfortunately, clap 3.0 is not yet published to crates.io. Thus, the following does not work (yet):
cargo install procrec
Therefore, manual installation from github is required:
$ git clone https://github.com/gh0st42/procrec
$ cargo install --path .
If you want plotting functionality you also need to install gnuplot via your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install gnuplot
or brew install gnuplot
).
$ procrec -h
procrec 0.2.2

Process recorder to log cpu utilization and memory consumption
USAGE:
procrec [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --pid <pid>
FLAGS:
-g, --graph Display graph using gnuplot
-h, --help Prints help information
-t, --print-gnuplot Just print gnuplot script
-v, --verbose A level of verbosity, and can be used multiple times
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-d, --duration <duration> Duration for observation
-i, --interval <interval> Sampling interval in seconds [default: 2]
-p, --pid <pid> Process to be inspected
Interactive recording of specific process:
$ pgrep iTerm

Afterwards a gnuplot window pops up and visualizes the data:
pidstat
from the sysstat package for pure recording, no plotting - written in C and probably available in most distro package managers- psrecord a nice python tool for recording and plotting (using
matplotlib
) - installation viapip
