ATOPRC(5) File Formats Manual ATOPRC(5) NAME atoprc - atop/atopsar related rcfile DESCRIPTION This manual page documents the rcfile of the atop and atopsar commands. These commands can be used to monitor the system and process load on a Linux system. The atoprc file contains the default settings. These settings are read dur- ing 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 identi- cal. 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 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', '1' and 'x'. interval The default interval value in seconds. linelen The length of a screen line when sending output to a file or pipe (de- fault 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 CPU's 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. maxlineintf The maximum number of active network interfaces that will be shown. cpucritperc The busy percentage considered critical for a processor (see section COLORS in the man-page of the atop command). This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage for line coloring and sorting of ac- tive 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 atop command). This percentage is used to de- termine 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 atop command). This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage for line coloring and sort- ing 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 atop command). This percentage is used to determine a weighted percentage for line coloring and sorting of ac- tive 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 sec- tion COLORS in the man-page of the 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 au- tomatic 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 atop com- mand). This threshold is used in combination with 'memcritperc' to de- termine 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 atop com- mand). When this value is zero, no line coloring for `almost critical' is performed. atopsarflags A list of default flags for atopsar can be defined here. The flags that are allowed are 'S', 'x', 'C', 'M', 'H', 'a', 'A' and the flags to se- lect one or more specific reports. An example of the /etc/atoprc or ~/.atoprc file: flags Aaf interval 5 username procname maxlinecpu 4 maxlinedisk 10 maxlineintf 5 cpucritperc 80 almostcrit 90 atopsarflags CMH ownprocline PID:50 VGROW:40 RGROW:45 COMMAND-LINE:50 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 informa- tion 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 po- sition 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 columnid's are the names of the columns that are shown in the nor- mal output of the process-related lines that are shown by 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 atop as the default system lines (you can redefine each of them in the rcfile as one line): ownsysprcline Redefinition of line labeled with 'PRC': ownsysprcline PRCSYS:8 PRCUSER:8 BLANKBOX:0 PRCNPROC:7 PRCNZOM- BIE:5 PRCCLONES:4 BLANKBOX:0 PRCNNEXIT:6 ownallcpuline Redefinition of line labeled with 'CPU' for total CPU-utilization: ownallcpuline CPUSYS:8 CPUUSER:7 CPUIRQ:4 BLANKBOX:0 CPUIDLE:5 CPUWAIT:6 BLANKBOX:0 CPUSTEAL:1 CPUGUEST:3 ownonecpuline Redefinition of line labeled with 'CPU' for utilization of one CPU: ownonecpuline CPUISYS:8 CPUIUSER:7 CPUIIRQ:4 BLANKBOX:0 CPUI- IDLE:5 CPUIWAIT:6 BLANKBOX:0 CPUISTEAL:1 CPUIGUEST:3 owncplline Redefinition of line labeled with 'CPL': owncplline CPLAVG1:4 CPLAVG5:3 CPLAVG15:2 BLANKBOX:0 CPLCSW:6 CPLINTR:5 BLANKBOX:0 CPLNUMCPU:1 ownmemline Redefinition of line labeled with 'MEM': ownmemline MEMTOT:2 MEMFREE:5 MEMCACHE:3 MEMDIRTY:1 MEMBUFFER:3 MEMSLAB:3 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 ownswpline Redefinition of line labeled with 'SWP': ownswpline SWPTOT:3 SWPFREE:4 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 SWPCOMMITTED:5 SWPCOMMITLIM:6 ownpagline Redefinition of line labeled with 'PAG': ownpagline PAGSCAN:3 PAGSTALL:1 BLANKBOX:0 PAGSWIN:4 PAGSWOUT:3 owndskline Redefinition of lines labeled with 'LVM', 'MDD' and 'DSK': owndskline DSKNAME:8 DSKBUSY:7 DSKNREAD:6 DSKNWRITE:6 DSKKBPERRD:4 DSKKBPERWR:4 DSKMBPERSECRD:5 DSKMBPERSECWR:5 DSKAVQUEUE:1 DSKAVIO:5 ownnettrline Redefinition of line labeled with 'NET' for transport: ownnettrline NETTRANSPORT:9 NETTCPI:8 NETTCPO:8 NETUDPI:8 NE- TUDPO:8 NETTCPACTOPEN:6 NETTCPPASVOPEN:5 NETTCPRETRANS:4 NETTCPIN- ERR:3 NETTCPORESET:20 NETUDPNOPORT:1 NETUDPINERR:3 ownnetnetline Redefinition of line labeled with 'NET' for network: ownnetnetline NETNETWORK:5 NETIPI:4 NETIPO:4 NETIPFRW:4 NETIPDE- LIV:4 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 BLANKBOX:0 NETICMPIN:1 NETICMPOUT:1 ownnetifline Redefinition of line labeled with 'NET' for interfaces: ownnetifline NETNAME:8 NETPCKI:7 NETPCKO:7 NETSPEEDIN:6 NETSPEED- OUT:6 NETCOLLIS:3 NETMULTICASTIN:2 NETRCVERR:5 NETSNDERR:5 NETRCV- DROP:4 NETSNDDROP:4 The lines above are shown in the order as shown by atop in combination with the -f flag (in a very wide window you should be able to see all of the columns).
