Process Monitor

A command line utility that spawns a process and produces a csv report on its resource usage.

Usage: procplot <COMMAND>

Commands:
  exec     Spawn a process and record its resource usage [alias: e]
  upgrade  Update the binary to the latest release [aliases: up, u]
  version  Print the current version
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

Usage

Run a command and record its resource usage with exec:

procplot exec -- node -e "setTimeout(() => console.log('Sup'), 4000)"

This will produce a file named procplot.csv

procplot exec --report something.csv -- node -e "setTimeout(() => console.log('Sup'), 4000)"

This will produce a report called something.csv

The csv file looks like:

time_s,cpu,memory_mb,disk_read,disk_write
0.000,0,0,0,0
0.065,0,16,5976064,0
0.567,0,37,16556032,0
