How to log CPU load to a file in order to investigate a problem?
6 Answers
This works very well:
while true; do uptime >> uptime.log; sleep 1; done
This will log your cpu load every second and append it to a file
uptime.log
.You can then import this file into Gnumeric or the OpenOffice spreadsheet to create a nice graph (select 'separated by spaces' on import).
As Scaine noticed, this won't be enough to diagnose the problem. So, additionally, run this (or use his answer for this part):
while true; do (echo "%CPU %MEM ARGS $(date)" && ps -e -o pcpu,pmem,args --sort=pcpu | cut -d" " -f1-5 | tail) >> ps.log; sleep 5; done
This will append the Top 10 most CPU hungry processes to a file
ps.log
every five seconds.Note that this is not the full boat-load of information
top
would give you. This is just the top 10, and just their CPU Usage, Memory Usage and the first argument (i.e. their command without further arguments, as in/usr/bin/firefox
)
After you've used a Spreadsheet to create a graph to see when your CPU load went through the roof, you can then search this file for the nearest time to see what process has caused it.
This is what those files will look like:
uptime.log
~$ cat uptime.log
22:57:42 up 1 day, 4:38, 4 users, load average: 1.00, 1.26, 1.21
22:57:43 up 1 day, 4:38, 4 users, load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
22:57:44 up 1 day, 4:38, 4 users, load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
22:57:45 up 1 day, 4:38, 4 users, load average: 0.92, 1.24, 1.21
...
ps.log

3Does this actually print the correct CPU usage?? I tried this on centos and only the memory usage was correct :(– MenelaosJan 18, 2014 at 15:02

How can I make this command keep running on my VPS even after I close the Putty connection? Feb 8, 2017 at 1:59

1If the CPU usage reported by
ps
is nonsensical, try running it as root. Feb 21, 2017 at 9:45 -

You can run the top
command in batch mode by using the -b
option, then dump that to a file.
On start up of your PC, open a terminal, run
top -b > ~/cpu.txt
Then when your PC freezes, simply open the (probably huge) text file and check the last entry for some detail on what was running just before the crash. In the fact the file will be so stupidly large that you're better off running a tail -250 ~/cpu.txt
instead.
Also check your /var/log/kern.log in case your issue is hardware related (unlikely if this is only happening after an upgrade, but worth checking nonetheless).
I found a great answer by Christopher to this question on Unix and Linux that uses top
:
top -n 1 -b > top.out
This will give you 1 iteration of top
then stop, and then push it to a file.
For those who need to run this command after your putty ( SSH client ) session end. you can use command screen
( or install it using apt-get
)
I`ve got an script for get the process load, with rotating logs:
#!/bin/bash
MaxFileSize=204800
DaysToKeep=7
echo -e "\n Fecha:"`date` >> /var/log/ps.log
echo -e "\n Uptime: "`uptime` >> /var/log/ps.log
ps -e -o pcpu,pmem,args --sort=pcpu | tail >> /var/log/ps.log
#Get size in bytes**
file_size=`du -b /var/log/ps.log | tr -s '\t' ' ' | cut -d' ' -f1`
if [ $file_size -gt $MaxFileSize ];then
timestamp=`date +%s`
mv /var/log/ps.log /var/log/ps.log.$timestamp
gzip /var/log/ps.log.$timestamp
touch /var/log/ps.log
# remove old files
find /var/log -name "ps.log.*" -type f -mtime +$DaysToKeep -delete
fi
My original source can be browsed here
Here's a logging script I wrote and use: cpu_logger.py. It logs continuously to a set of rotating log files. It allows me to write reports to Google like this: Chrome Google Meet CPU usage is still too high (see plots and CPU usage during Google Meet with my camera ON vs OFF).
Run it at a high priority with the soft real-time Round Robin (rr) scheduler so it can log even when your system freezes:
sudo chrt -rr 1 path/to/eRCaGuy_dotfiles/useful_scripts/cpu_logger.py
View the output live with:
less -N --follow-name +F ~/cpu_log.log
Here is some sample output for only 2 log periods (at logging loop iterations 2 and 3):
