iotop

IOTOP(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  IOTOP(8)

NAME

       iotop - simple top-like I/O monitor

SYNOPSIS

       iotop [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       iotop watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel (requires 2.6.20 or later) and displays a table of current I/O usage by pro-
       cesses or threads on the system. At least the CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING, CONFIG_TASKSTATS and CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUN-
       TERS options need to be enabled in your Linux kernel build configuration.

       iotop  displays columns for the I/O bandwidth read and written by each process/thread during the sampling period. It also displays the per-
       centage of time the thread/process spent while swapping in and while waiting on I/O. For each process, its I/O  priority  (class/level)	is
       shown.  In addition, the total I/O bandwidth read and written during the sampling period is displayed at the top of the interface.

       Use  the left and right arrows to change the sorting, r to reverse the sorting order, o to toggle the --only option, p to toggle the --pro-
       cesses option, a to toggle the --accumulated option, q to quit or i to change the priority of a thread or a process' thread(s).	Any  other
       key will force a refresh.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Show the version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      Show usage information and exit

       -o, --only
	      Only  show  processes or threads actually doing I/O, instead of showing all processes or threads. This can be dynamically toggled by
	      pressing o.

       -b, --batch
	      Turn on non-interactive mode.  Useful for logging I/O usage over time.

       -n NUM, --iter=NUM
	      Set the number of iterations before quitting (never quit by default).  This is most useful in non-interactive mode.

       -d SEC, --delay=SEC
	      Set the delay between iterations in seconds (1 second by default).  Accepts non-integer values such as 1.1 seconds.

       -p PID, --pid=PID
	      A list of processes/threads to monitor (all by default).

       -u USER, --user=USER
	      A list of users to monitor (all by default)

       -P, --processes
	      Only show processes. Normally iotop shows all threads.

       -a, --accumulated
	      Show accumulated I/O instead of bandwidth. In this mode, iotop shows the amount of I/O processes have done since iotop started.

       -k, --kilobytes
	      Use kilobytes instead of a human friendly unit. This mode is useful when scripting the batch mode of iotop. Instead of choosing  the
	      most appropriate unit iotop will display all sizes in kilobytes.

       -t, --time
	      Add a timestamp on each line (implies --batch). Each line will be prefixed by the current time.

       -q, --quiet
	      suppress some lines of header (implies --batch). This option can be specified up to three times to remove header lines.
	      -q     column names are only printed on the first iteration,
	      -qq    column names are never printed,
	      -qqq   the I/O summary is never printed.
