    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-cgtop</command> shows the top control
    groups of the local Linux control group hierarchy, ordered by
    their CPU, memory, or disk I/O load. The display is refreshed in
    regular intervals (by default every 1s), similar in style to
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>top</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    If a control group path is specified, shows only the services of
    the specified control group.</para>

    <para>If <command>systemd-cgtop</command> is not connected to a
    tty, no column headers are printed and the default is to only run
    one iteration.  The <varname>--iterations=</varname> argument, if
    given, is honored. This mode is suitable for scripting.</para>

    <para>Resource usage is only accounted for control groups in the
    relevant hierarchy, i.e. CPU usage is only accounted for control
    groups in the <literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, memory usage
    only for those in <literal>memory</literal> and disk I/O usage for
    those in <literal>blkio</literal>. If resource monitoring for
    these resources is required, it is recommended to add the
    <varname>CPUAccounting=1</varname>,
    <varname>MemoryAccounting=1</varname> and
    <varname>BlockIOAccounting=1</varname> settings in the unit files
    in question. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for details.</para>

    <para>The CPU load value can be between 0 and 100 times the number of
    processors the system has. For example, if the system has 8 processors,
    the CPU load value is going to be between 0% and 800%. The number of
    processors can be found in <literal>/proc/cpuinfo</literal>.</para>

    <para>To emphasize this: unless
    <literal>CPUAccounting=1</literal>,
    <literal>MemoryAccounting=1</literal> and
    <literal>BlockIOAccounting=1</literal> are enabled for the
    services in question, no resource accounting will be available for
    system services and the data shown by
    <command>systemd-cgtop</command> will be incomplete.</para>
