4 months ago

Modifications for atop:

  • Additional memory statistics on system level: amount of available memory, amount of memory used for Transparant Huge Pages, amount of memory used by two categories of static huge pages (usually 2MiB and 1GiB), and the number of pages transferred to/from zswap.
  • Additional counters for the number of idle threads on system level and process level.
  • Refined view of memory bar graph, including free static huge pages.
  • Generic way to determine the container id or pod name for containerized processes.
  • Support for a BPF-based alternative for the netatop kernel module to gather network statistics per process/thread.
  • Use the -z flag followed by a regex to prepend matching environment variables to the full command line that is shown per process (with key 'c').
  • Various bugfixes (like memory leak when switching to bar graph mode) and minor improvements.

Modifications for atopsar:

  • Bugfix: failing malloc while starting atopsar (unprivileged) for a live measurement.

New program atophide:

  • The program atophide can be used to make an extraction from an input raw log to an output raw log, optionally specifying a begin time and/or an end time. The output raw log can be anonymized, i.e. the hostname will be replaced, command names of non-standard commands will be replaced, all command arguments will be wiped, logical volume names will be replaced and NFS mounted volume names will be replaced.

General:

  • The format of the raw file is incompatible with previous versions. Raw files from previous versions can be converted to the new layout with the atopconvert command.
