Project Description

Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor
that is capable of reporting the activity of all
processes (even if processes have finished during
the interval), daily logging of system and process
activity for long-term analysis, highlighting
overloaded system resources by using colors, etc.
At regular intervals, it shows system-level
activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks,
and network layers, and for every active process
it shows the CPU utilization, the memory growth,
priority, username, state, and exit code.

1.9

Atop is now able to show the command-line arguments of the active processes, also via the raw logfiles. The TCP/IP related counters on system-level now include the IPv6 statistics (in earlier versions these counters only showed IPv4 traffic).

1.8

Long-term logging to compressed raw files is
automatically reactivated after a reboot of the
system. This means that this feature is now also
available for systems that do not run continually.
A bug that prevented the interval registered in
the logfile from being larger than 65535 seconds
was fixed.

1.7

The exit-code column has been changed to a
status-column, indicating if a process is newly
started and if a process has finished (by exit or
signal). It is now possible to suppress the disk
statistics. Daily logging to a raw file is
automatically activated during installation (if
possible). When viewing raw logfiles, atop now
allows you to browse forward and backward through
the logged samples. A bug which caused mismatches
between the process-information of exited and
running processes has been solved.

1.6

It is now possible to store the system- and process-level counter data in a compressed raw file for long-term analysis. The header line was modified to include the date and node name, and the source code was restructured to ease porting to other UNIX platforms in future.

1.4

Process accounting is now handled securely by creating a separate subdirectory in /tmp. Disk types other than sda and hda are now recognized. Other bugfixes and modifications include allowing users to run without process accounting, avoiding flag list and buffer overflows, and correct access times for disks in SMP systems.
