NAME

       pcp-atoprc - pcp-atop and pcp-atopsar resource file

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       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  '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.   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.  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.   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.  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.

       colorinfo
           Definition of color name for information messages (default: green).
           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).
           Allowed colors are: red green yellow blue magenta cyan black white.

       colorcritical
           Definition of color name for critical resources (default: red).
           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

               ownpagline    PAGSCAN:3 BLANKBOX:0 PAGSWIN:3 PAGSWOUT:7

       The keywords 'ownprocline' and 'ownpagline' are explained in the subsequent section.

OWN DEFINITION OF OUTPUT LINE

       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-criterium.
           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):
