835547 – RFE:add manual for processcsv.py

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:18:45 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:58:47 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Verified this issue with virt-top-1.0.4-3.14.el6.x86_64
#man virt-top
NAME
       processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files

SUMMARY
        virt-top --csv data.csv
        processcsv.py < data.csv

DESCRIPTION
       virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized
       domains.

       processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of
       "virt-top --csv".

       It is used like this:

        virt-top --csv data.csv
        processcsv.py < data.csv

       The second command will overwrite the following files in the current
       directory:

       "global.csv"
           This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.

       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
           For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-
           domain statistics from the CSV file.

Comment 5 yuping zhang 2012-09-29 07:22:36 UTC

I found a little problem:
In virt-top manual page:
#man virt-top
...
 virt-top --csv data.csv
            processcsv.py < data.csv

           This creates or overwrites the following files in the current
           directory:

            global.csv
            domain<NNN>.csv

           "global.csv" will contain the global data.  One "domain<NNN>.csv"
           file will also be created for each domain with ID "NNN", containin
...

==> The file is described domian<NNN>.csv

In processscv.py manual page:
...
       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
           For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-
           domain statistics from the CSV file.
...

==> The file is described domanNN.csv

Hi Richard,
The file name should be consistency,right?

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-29 07:48:50 UTC

"NN" means a domain ID, eg. domain123.csv.

Comment 7 yuping zhang 2012-09-29 08:01:28 UTC

(In reply to comment #6)
> "NN" means a domain ID, eg. domain123.csv.

Hi Richard,
I know that,I mean the file need to be described same.For example,both them describe the file as domian<NNN>.csv or domainNN.csv.
