bootchart

BOOTCHART(1)						      General Commands Manual						      BOOTCHART(1)

NAME

       bootchart - render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd

SYNOPSIS

       bootchart [-f|--format FORMAT] [-n|--no-prune] [-o|--output-dir DIR] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       bootchart  is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default).  bootchart builds the process tree
       and renders a performance chart in different formats.  The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency  and  overall  resource
       utilization.

OPTIONS

       -f,--format FORMAT
	      Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)

       -h, --help
	      Display brief usage message.

       -n, --no-prune
	      Do  not prune the process tree.  To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various
	      techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.).  This option disables such behavior.

       -o, --output-dir DIR
	      Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)

       -v, --version
	      Show program version.

FILES

       /var/log/bootchart.tgz
	      the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).
