<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-cgtop</command> shows the top control
groups of the local Linux control group hierarchy, ordered by
their CPU, memory, or disk I/O load. The display is refreshed in
regular intervals (by default every 1s), similar in style to
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>top</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
If a control group path is specified, shows only the services of
the specified control group.</para>
<para>If <command>systemd-cgtop</command> is not connected to a
tty, no column headers are printed and the default is to only run
one iteration. The <varname>--iterations=</varname> argument, if
given, is honored. This mode is suitable for scripting.</para>
<para>Resource usage is only accounted for control groups in the
relevant hierarchy, i.e. CPU usage is only accounted for control
groups in the <literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, memory usage
only for those in <literal>memory</literal> and disk I/O usage for
those in <literal>blkio</literal>. If resource monitoring for
these resources is required, it is recommended to add the
<varname>CPUAccounting=1</varname>,
<varname>MemoryAccounting=1</varname> and
<varname>BlockIOAccounting=1</varname> settings in the unit files
in question. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para>
<para>The CPU load value can be between 0 and 100 times the number of
processors the system has. For example, if the system has 8 processors,
the CPU load value is going to be between 0% and 800%. The number of
processors can be found in <literal>/proc/cpuinfo</literal>.</para>
<para>To emphasize this: unless
<literal>CPUAccounting=1</literal>,
<literal>MemoryAccounting=1</literal> and
<literal>BlockIOAccounting=1</literal> are enabled for the
services in question, no resource accounting will be available for
system services and the data shown by
<command>systemd-cgtop</command> will be incomplete.</para>

<term><option>--batch</option></term>
<listitem><para>Run in "batch" mode: do not accept input and
run until the iteration limit set with
<option>--iterations=</option> is exhausted or until killed.
This mode could be useful for sending output from
<command>systemd-cgtop</command> to other programs or to a
file.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>-r</option></term>
<term><option>--raw</option></term>

<term><option>--cpu=time</option></term>
<listitem><para>Controls whether the CPU usage is shown as

percentage. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by
pressing the <keycap>%</keycap> key.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>-P</option></term>
<listitem><para>Count only userspace processes instead of all
tasks. By default, all tasks are counted: each kernel thread
and each userspace thread individually. With this setting,
kernel threads are excluded from the counting and each
userspace process only counts as one, regardless how many
threads it consists of. This setting may also be toggled at
runtime by pressing the <keycap>P</keycap> key. This option
may not be combined with
<option>-k</option>.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>-k</option></term>
<listitem><para>Count only userspace processes and kernel
threads instead of all tasks. By default, all tasks are
counted: each kernel thread and each userspace thread
individually. With this setting, kernel threads are included in
the counting and each userspace process only counts as on one,

<term><option>--recursive=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Controls whether the number of processes shown
for a control group shall include all processes that are
contained in any of the child control groups as well. Takes a
boolean argument, which defaults to <literal>yes</literal>. If
enabled, the processes in child control groups are included, if
disabled, only the processes in the control group itself are
counted. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by
pressing the <keycap>r</keycap> key. Note that this setting
only applies to process counting, i.e. when the
<option>-P</option> or <option>-k</option> options are
used. It has not effect if all tasks are counted, in which
case the counting is always recursive.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Specify refresh delay in seconds (or if one of

<term><option>--depth=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Maximum control group tree traversal depth.
Specifies how deep <command>systemd-cgtop</command> shall
