Overview

Retrieve process cpu and memory usage

Examples

def test_fun(duthosts, rand_one_dut_hostname):
    duthost = duthosts[rand_one_dut_hostname]

    monit_results = duthost.monit_process(iterations=12)

Arguments

• delay_interval - delay between polling (in seconds)
  • Required: False
  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 5
• iterations - Number of polling iterations
  • Required: False
  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 12

Expected Output

Dictionary describing the cpu and memory usage of all processes. The dictionary hierarchy is described below, with each indentation describing a sub-dictionary:

• monit_results - List of dictionaries, where each dictionary refers to a separate process
  • status - Whether process is runing or not
  • memory_percent - What percent of memory is in use by the process
  • pid - pid for processes
  • name- process name
  • cpu_percent - What percent of cpu is in use by the process
