# NAME
Linux::GetPidstat - Monitor each process metrics avg using each pidfile
# SYNOPSIS
use Linux::GetPidstat;
my $stat = Linux::GetPidstat->new;
$stat->run(%opt);
# DESCRIPTION
Run `pidstat -w -s -u -d -r` commands in parallel to monitor each process metrics avg/1min.
Output to a specified file \[and|or\] `mackerel service` https://mackerel.io.
## Motivation
A batch server runs many batch scripts at the same time.
When this server suffers by a resource short, it's difficult to grasp which processes are heavy quickly.
Running pidstat manually is not appropriate in this situation, because
- the target processes are changed by starting each job.
- the target processes may run child processes recursively.
## Requirements
pidstat
pstree
## Usage
Prepare pid files in a specified directory.
$ mkdir /tmp/pid_dir
$ echo 1234 > /tmp/pid_dir/target_script
$ echo 1235 > /tmp/pid_dir/target_script2
# In production, this file is made and removed by the batch script itself for instance.
Run the script every 1 mininute.
# vi /etc/cron.d/linux-get-pidstat
* * * * * user carton exec -- linux-get-pidstat --dry_run=0 --pid_dir=/tmp/pid_dir --res_dir=/tmp/bstat.log
Done, you can monitor the result.
$ tail -f /tmp/bstat.log
