( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

It's kinda weird to do this with top. Especially putting to a csv? This stuff is changing all the time- by default ordered by usage, likely- so just because something is not visible, does not mean a second later it didn't abuse your resources. Maybe ps aux might be of use here, to actually show you what's going on, compare output of that with same output a few mins later.. who knows.

What might be more useful is - what the heck are they trying to do? See what users are hogging resources?

If you want to monitor usage, cpu hit.. If a server is grinding to a hault.. etc .. Consider NAGIOS.

You can code plugins for nagios with perl to do more specific alerts for your org.

If you haven't a working nagios system, it would be in your best interest.
(Dunno. If you just want to do your 9-5... But there might be something off here. Coding to save top output to a db.. sounds like someone's not making the most of posix- like.. keeping a ferrari in second gear.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
