6 Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes - Collect linux process statistics.

9 use Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes;
10 my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new;
12 # or Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new(pids => \@pids)
13 $lxs->init;
15 sleep 1;
16 my $stat = $lxs->get;
17
19 Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes gathers process information from the
20 virtual /proc filesystem (procfs).
21 For more information read the documentation of the front-end module
23 Sys::Statistics::Linux.

26 Generated by /proc/<pid>/stat, /proc/<pid>/status, /proc/<pid>/cmdline
27 and getpwuid().
28 Note that if /etc/passwd isn't readable, the key owner is set to N/a.
30 ppid - The parent process ID of the process.
32 nlwp - The number of light weight processes that runs by this process.
33 owner - The owner name of the process.
34 pgrp - The group ID of the process.
35 state - The status of the process.
36 session - The session ID of the process.
37 ttynr - The tty the process use.
38 minflt - The number of minor faults the process made.
39 cminflt - The number of minor faults the child process made.
40 mayflt - The number of mayor faults the process made.
41 cmayflt - The number of mayor faults the child process made.
42 stime - The number of jiffies the process have beed scheduled in kernel mode.
43 utime - The number of jiffies the process have beed scheduled in user mode.
44 ttime - The number of jiffies the process have beed scheduled (user + kernel).
45 cstime - The number of jiffies the process waited for childrens have been scheduled in kernel mode.
46 cutime - The number of jiffies the process waited for childrens have been scheduled in user mode.
47 prior - The priority of the process (+15).
48 nice - The nice level of the process.
49 sttime - The time in jiffies the process started after system boot.
50 actime - The time in D:H:M:S (days, hours, minutes, seconds) the process is active.
51 vsize - The size of virtual memory of the process.
52 nswap - The size of swap space of the process.
53 cnswap - The size of swap space of the childrens of the process.
54 cpu - The CPU number the process was last executed on.
55 wchan - The "channel" in which the process is waiting.
56 fd - This is a subhash containing each file which the process has open, named by its file descriptor.
57 0 is standard input, 1 standard output, 2 standard error, etc. Because only the owner or root
58 can read /proc/<pid>/fd this hash could be empty.
59 cmd - Command of the process.
60 cmdline - Command line of the process.
61 Generated by /proc/<pid>/statm. All statistics provides information
63 about memory in pages:
64 size - The total program size of the process.
66 resident - Number of resident set size, this includes the text, data and stack space.
67 share - Total size of shared pages of the process.
68 trs - Total text size of the process.
69 drs - Total data/stack size of the process.
70 lrs - Total library size of the process.
71 dtp - Total size of dirty pages of the process (unused since kernel 2.6).
72 It's possible to convert pages to bytes or kilobytes. Example - if the
74 pagesize of your system is 4kb:
75 $Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes::PAGES_TO_BYTES = 0; # pages (default)
77 $Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes::PAGES_TO_BYTES = 4; # convert to kilobytes
78 $Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes::PAGES_TO_BYTES = 4096; # convert to bytes
79 # or with
81 Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new(pages_to_bytes => 4096);
82 Generated by /proc/<pid>/io.
84 rchar - Bytes read from storage (might have been from pagecache).
86 wchar - Bytes written.
87 syscr - Number of read syscalls.
88 syscw - Numner of write syscalls.
89 read_bytes - Bytes really fetched from storage layer.
90 write_bytes - Bytes sent to the storage layer.
91 cancelled_write_bytes - Refer to docs.
92 See Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt for more (from kernel 2.6.20)

96 new()
97 Call new() to create a new object.
98 my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new;
100 It's possible to handoff an array reference with a PID list.
102 my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new(pids => [ 1, 2, 3 ]);
104 It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.
106 Sys::Statistics::Linux::Processes->new(
108 files => {
109 # This is the default
110 path => '/proc',
111 uptime => 'uptime',
112 stat => 'stat',
113 statm => 'statm',
114 status => 'status',
115 cmdline => 'cmdline',
116 wchan => 'wchan',
117 fd => 'fd',
118 io => 'io',
119 }
120 );
121 init()
123 Call init() to initialize the statistics.
124 $lxs->init;
126 get()
128 Call get() to get the statistics. get() returns the statistics as a
129 hash reference.
130 my $stat = $lxs->get;
132 Note:
134 Processes that were created between the call of init() and get() are
136 returned as well, but the keys minflt, cminflt, mayflt, cmayflt, utime,
137 stime, cutime, and cstime are set to the value 0.00 because there are
138 no inititial values to calculate the deltas.
139 raw()
141 Get raw values.
142
144 No exports.
