RFE: provide per-process network statistics
Last modified: 2017-08-23 11:12:00 EDT
Description of problem: Currently PCP already provides comprehensive cpu/mem/io per-process level statistics but nothing about their network usage. It would be great if PCP could also provide per-process level network statistics alongside with cpu/mem/io stats. nethogs [1] could perhaps be checked for inspiration, it can provide bandwidth usage per process without stap scripts or other such "external" components (it requires root privileges, though). 1) http://nethogs.sourceforge.net/ Thanks.
Also may be worth perusing the netatop [2] netfilter module, since we've begun looking into using the frontend atop code directly, which (optionally) uses that instrumentation too. So a nicely integrated monitoring frontend would come effectively "for free" if we're lucky (well, a netatop PMDA would be needed too, so not quite free). 2) http://www.atoptool.nl/netatop.php
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
A systemtap script interfacing to pmdajson should be able to gather this info.
This would still be useful, re-opening (once) in case this can be considered (or the suggestion in comment #3 be made consumable by regular users). Thanks.
