NAME

       bootchartd.conf - configuration file for bootchartd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/bootchartd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       bootchartd.conf contains configuration options for the bootchartd logger.  The available options:

       TMPFS_SIZE
	      If the root file system is not writable at startup, bootchartd mounts a hidden temporary file system in /mnt to store its log files.
	      This options controls the size of this file system. default: 32m

       SAMPLE_PERIOD
	      Sampling period, in seconds.  default: 0.2

       PROCESS_ACCOUNTING
	      Whether to utilize BSD process accounting for a more accurate process tree.  Note that the kernel needs to be configured to  include
	      CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3.  accton(8) from the GNU accounting utilities is also required.  default: no

       BOOTLOG_DEST
	      Log file tarball destination.  default: /var/log/bootchart.tgz

       AUTO_RENDER
	      Whether  to  automatically  generate  the  boot chart once the boot logger completes.  The boot chart will be generated in AUTO_REN-
	      DER_DIR.	default: no

       AUTO_RENDER_FORMAT
	      Image format to use for the auto-generated boot chart (choose between png, svg and eps).	default: png

       AUTO_RENDER_DIR
	      Output directory for auto-generated boot charts.	default: /var/log

NAME

       bootchartd - collects process information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics

SYNOPSIS

       bootchartd [start|stop] [bootchart_init=INIT]

DESCRIPTION

       bootchartd  collects  process  information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc/ file system.  The accumulated log file
       may later be visualized using bootchart(1).

       bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process for the purpose of speeding it up.  In this case, it is started by  the	kernel	as
       the  init  process.  This is configured by adding the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line -- either interactively or by
       editing the bootloader's configuration file. Please refer to the documentation of your bootloader for details (e.g. lilo, grub or yaboot).

       After bootchartd is initialized during the boot process, it will start the default init process (/sbin/init) to proceed	with  the  regular
       bootup.	If, however, an alternative init process is used (e.g. (/sbin/initng), that process may be specified using the bootchart_init=INIT
       kernel command line parameter.

       Another possibility for using bootchartd is monitoring the resource usage of a specific application or the running system in  general.	In
       this case, bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start and stopped using bootchartd stop.
