<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 <option>--iterations=</option> argument, if
given, is honored. This mode is suitable for scripting.</para>
<para>Resource usage is only accounted for control groups with the appropriate controllers turned on:
<literal>cpu</literal> controller for CPU usage, <literal>memory</literal> controller for memory usage,
and <literal>io</literal> controller for disk I/O consumption. If resource monitoring for these resources
is required, it is recommended to add the <varname>CPUAccounting=1</varname>,
<varname>MemoryAccounting=1</varname> and <varname>IOAccounting=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: unless <literal>CPUAccounting=1</literal>, <literal>MemoryAccounting=1</literal>, and
<literal>IOAccounting=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>

disabled, only the processes in the control group itself are
counted. This setting may also be toggled at runtime by
pressing the <keycap>r</keycap> key. Note that this setting
only applies to process counting, i.e. when the
