PCP-MPSTAT(1)              General Commands Manual             PCP-MPSTAT(1)

NAME         top

       pcp-mpstat - Report CPU and Interrupt related statistics.

SYNOPSIS         top

       pcp mpstat [ -A ] [ -u ] [ -V ] [ -I { SUM | CPU | SCPU | ALL } ] [
       -P { cpu1,cpu2 [,...] | ON | ALL } ] [ -t interval ] [ -s count ] [
       -a pcp-archive ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The pcp mpstat command writes to standard output activities for each
       available processor, processor 0 being the first one. If no
       activity/option has been selected, then the default report is the CPU
       utilization [ -u ] report.
       The interval parameter specifies the amount of time in seconds
       between each report. Default is one second.  The value of count
       parameter determines the number of samples to be displayed.  Default
       is continous.

OPTIONS         top

       -A     This option is equivalent to specifying -u -I ALL -P ALL
       -I { SUM | CPU | SCPU | ALL }
              Report interrupts statistics.
              With the SUM keyword, the pcp mpstat command reports the total
              number of interrupts per processor.  The following values are
              displayed:
              CPU
                     Processor number. The keyword all indicates that
                     statistics are calculated as averages among all
                     processors.
              intr/s
                     Show the total number of interrupts received per second
                     by the CPU or CPUs.
              With the CPU keyword, the number of each individual interrupt
              received per second by the CPU or CPUs is displayed.
              Interrupts are those under the kernel.percpu.interrupts metric
              tree.
              With the SCPU keyword, the number of each individual software
              interrupt received per second by the CPU or CPUs is displayed.
              Software interrupts are those under
                the kernel.percpu.softirqs tree
              The ALL keyword is equivalent to specifying all the keywords
              above and therefore all the interrupts statistics are
              displayed.
       -P { cpu1,cpu2[,...] | ON | ALL }
              Indicate the processor number for which statistics are to be
              reported.  cpu1 and cpu2 are the processor numbers. A list of
              required processor numbers can be provided. Note that
              processor 0 is the first processor.
              The ON keyword indicates that statistics are to be reported
              for every online processor, whereas the ALL keyword indicates
              that statistics are to be reported for all processors.
       -u     Report CPU utilization. The following values are displayed:
              CPU
                     Processor number. The keyword ALL indicates that
                     statistics are calculated as averages among all
                     processors.
              %usr
                     Show the percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
                     while executing at the user level (application).
              %nice
                     Show the percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
                     while executing at the user level with nice priority.
              %sys
                     Show the percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
                     while executing at the system level (kernel). Note that
                     this does not include time spent servicing hardware and
                     software interrupts.
              %iowait
                     Show the percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were
                     idle during which the system had an outstanding disk
                     I/O request.
              %irq
                     Show the percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to
                     service hardware interrupts.
              %soft
                     Show the percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to
                     service software interrupts.
              %steal
                     Show the percentage of time spent in involuntary wait
                     by the virtual CPU or CPUs while the hypervisor was
                     servicing another virtual processor.
              %guest
                     Show the percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to
                     run a virtual processor.
              %gnice
                     Show the percentage of time spent by the CPU or CPUs to
                     run a niced guest.
              %idle
                     Show the percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were
                     idle and the system did not have an outstanding disk
                     I/O request.
              Note: On SMP machines a processor that does not have any
              activity at all is a disabled (offline) processor.
       -a  FILE , --archive = FILE
              Causes pcp-mpstat to use the specified archive than connecting
              to PMCD. The argument to -a is a comma-separated list of
              names, each of which may be the base name of an archive or the
              name of a directory containing one or more archives. Archives
              can be created using pmlogger(1).
       -s  N , --samples = N
              Set the number of samples to be displayed. Since the first
              sample is used for the rate conversion of some of the metrics,
              the total number of samples reported are one less that N.
              Default is continous.
       -t DELTA , --interval = DELTA
              Set the interval between two samples. Default is one second.
       -V     Print version number then exit.

EXAMPLES         top

       pcp mpstat -t 2 -s 5
              Display four reports of global statistics among all processors
              at two second intervals.
       pcp mpstat -P ALL -t 2 -s 5
              Display four reports of statistics for all processors at two
              second intervals.

NOTES         top

       pcp-mpstat is inspired by the mpstat(1) command and aims to be
       command line and output compatible with it.

ENVIRONMENT         top

       TZ and LC_TIME environment variables can be used to override the
       default date display format for pcp-mpstat.
