bootchart(1)

bootchart1

Render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd

Usage

bootchart [{-f | --format FORMAT}] [{-n | --no-prune}] [{-o | --output-dir DIR}] files ...

Overview

bootchart is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default). bootchart builds the process tree and renders a performance chart in different formats. The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency and overall resource utilization.

Options

-f,--format FORMAT

Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)

-h, --help

Display brief usage message.

-n, --no-prune

Do not prune the process tree. To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.). This option disables such behavior.

-o, --output-dir DIR

Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)

-v, --version

Show program version.

Files

/var/log/bootchart.tgz

the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).
