NAME
atopsar - Advanced System Activity Report (atop related)
SYNOPSIS
atopsar [-flags...] [-r file|date|- ] [-R cnt ] [-b [YYYYMMDD]hhmm[ss] ] [-e [YYYYMMDD]hhmm[ss] ]
atopsar [-flags...] interval [ samples ]
DESCRIPTION
The program atopsar can be used to report statistics on system level.
In the first synopsis line (no sampling interval specified), atopsar extracts data from a raw logfile that has been
recorded previously by the program atop (option -w of the atop program).
You can specify the name of the logfile with the -r option of the atopsar program. When a daily logfile of atop is
used, named /var/log/atop/atop_YYYYMMDD (where YYYYMMDD reflects the date), the required date of the form YYYYMMDD
can be specified with the -r option instead of the filename, or the symbolic name 'y' can be used for yesterday's
daily logfile (this can be repeated so 'yyyy' indicates the logfile of four days ago), or the filename '-' can be
used to read raw data from stdin. If the -r option is not specified at all, today's daily logfile is used by deā
fault.
The starting and ending times of the report can be defined using the options -b and -e followed by a time argument of
the form [YYYYMMDD]hhmm[ss].
In the second synopsis line, atopsar reads actual activity counters from the kernel with the specified interval (in
seconds) and the specified number of samples (optionally). When atopsar is activated in this way it immediately
sends the output for every requested report to standard output. If only one type of report is requested, the header
is printed once and after every interval seconds the statistical counters are shown for that period. If several reā
ports are requested, a header is printed per sample followed by the statistical counters for that period.
Some generic flags can be specified to influence the behaviour of the atopsar program:
-S By default the timestamp at the beginning of a line is suppressed if more lines are shown for one interval. With
this flag a timestamp is given for every output-line (easier for post-processing).
-a By default certain resources as disks and network interfaces are only shown when they were active during the inā
terval. With this flag all resources of a given type are shown, even if they were inactive during the interval.
-x By default atopsar only uses colors if output is directed to a terminal (window). These colors might indicate
that a critical occupation percentage has been reached (red) or has been almost reached (cyan) for a particular
resource. See the man-page of atop for a detailed description of this feature (section COLORS).
With the flag -x the use of colors is suppressed unconditionally.
-C By default atopsar only uses colors if output is directed to a terminal (window). These colors might indicate
that a critical occupation percentage has been reached (red) or has been almost reached (cyan) for a particular
resource. See the man-page of atop for a detailed description of this feature (section COLORS).
With the flag -C colors will always be used, even if output is not directed to a terminal.
-M Use markers at the end of a line to indicate that a critical occupation percentage has been reached ('*') or has
been almost reached ('+') for particular resources. The marker '*' is similar to the color red and the marker
'+' to the color cyan. See the man-page of atop for a detailed description of these colors (section COLORS).
-H Repeat the header line within a report for every N detail lines. The value of N is determined dynamically in
case of output to a tty/window (depending on the number of lines); for output to a file or pipe this value is
23.
-R Summarize cnt samples into one sample. When the logfile contains e.g. samples of 10 minutes, the use of the flag
'-R 6' shows a report with one sample for every hour.
Other flags are used to define which reports are required:
-A Show all possible reports.
-c Report about CPU utilization (in total and per cpu).
-g Report about GPU utilization (per GPU).
-p Report about processor-related matters, like load-averages and hardware interrupts.

-f Report about utilization of multiple devices.
-d Report about utilization of disks.
-n Report about NFS mounted filesystems on NFS client.

OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
Depending on the requested report, a number of columns with output values are produced. The values are mostly preā
sented as a number of events per second.
The output for the flag -c contains the following columns per cpu:
usr% Percentage of cpu-time consumed in user mode (program text) for all active processes running with a nice
value of zero (default) or a negative nice value (which means a higher priority than usual). The cpu
consumption in user mode of processes with a nice value larger than zero (lower priority) is indicated in
the nice%-column.
nice% Percentage of cpu time consumed in user mode (i.e. program text) for all processes running witn a nice
value larger than zero (which means with a lower priority than average).
sys% Percentage of cpu time consumed in system mode (kernel text) for all active processes. A high percentage
usually indicates a lot of system calls being issued.
irq% Percentage of cpu time consumed for handling of device interrupts.
softirq% Percentage of cpu time consumed for soft interrupt handling.
steal% Percentage of cpu time stolen by other virtual machines running on the same hardware.
guest% Percentage of cpu time used by other virtual machines running on the same hardware (overlaps with
usr%/nice%).
wait% Percentage of unused cpu time while at least one of the processes in wait-state awaits completion of disk
I/O.
idle% Percentage of unused cpu time because all processes are in a wait-state but not waiting for disk-I/O.
The output for the flag -g contains the following columns per GPU:
busaddr GPU number and bus-ID (separated by '/').
gpubusy GPU busy percentage during interval.
membusy GPU memory busy percentage during interval, i.e. time to issue read and write accesses on memory.

memtot Total memory available.
memuse Used GPU memory at this moment.
gputype Type of GPU.
The output for the flag -p contains the following values:
pswch/s Number of process switches (also called context switches) per second on this cpu. A process switch occurs
at the moment that an active thread (i.e. the thread using a cpu) enters a wait state or has used its
time slice completely; another thread will then be chosen to use the cpu.
devintr/s Number of hardware interrupts handled per second on this cpu.
clones/s The number of new threads started per second.
loadavg1 Load average reflecting the average number of threads in the runqueue or in non-interruptible wait state

swapout/s The number of memory-pages the system wrote to the swap-device per second.
oomkill The number of processes being killed during the last interval due to lack of memory/swap. The value -1
means that this counter is not supported by the current kernel version.
commitspc The committed virtual memory space i.e. the reserved virtual space for all allocations of private memory
space for processes.
