I don't see processes in the processes window

It would be nice to have some basic cli options.

Off the top of my head, it would be cool to have features like this included in the cli options.

Description

I realize that this is ridiculous and most people will never encounter this, but on my 40 core, 80 thread server, the CPUs get cut off a little bit. It gets to CPU 27 and just stops. CPU 43 peaks through a little bit but that’s it.

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 16.04
• Node version: v4.2.6
• gtop version: 0.1.5

Description

I noticed that the graphs in gtop would not plot values above ~80% (see attached picture). This can be fixed by changing the value of MaxY from 100 to 125 here, however I don't really know if that's the proper way to fix this bug.

I might be interested in using this in our research lab. But our systems are pretty delicately configured; to avoid risking any problems (among other reasons), I am not inclined to install Node/npm. But I would happily run a binary. Would you consider packaging up some Linux binaries for each release? Or is there a typical way of compiling JS apps to binary form for distribution?

The colors in the README screenshot are different than the default. What colors are you using and where did you change it? Also for the network chart, mine are coming up as empty boxes instead of bars. I tried using LANG=en_US.utf8 TERM=xterm-256color gtop.

Environment

• OS: OSX Sierra
• Node version: v8.8.1
• gtop version: 0.1.5

Description

After node upgrade (from 8.1.2 to 8.8.1) gtop does not automatically adapt to window resizes. Tried in the default OSX terminal app, iTerm, tmux. Same result. The reason I ran into this, was when I installed gtop on another machine with a recent node version. On the machine with the old node version, the app automatically adjusted to window resizes. After upgrading node also on this machine, it´s not working anymore.

Since I am not a node expert, I´m having a hard time figuring out which module might have caused this change.

For all those with corrupted/wrong font output:

extending gtop.js with following @ line 4

if (process.platform === 'win32') {
  process.env.TERM = 'windows-ansi'
}

should fix temper this issues, at least it does so for me.

too much cpu... suprisingly gtop work pretty good on synology. So I was wondering if we could test itwhich function of your app is eating so much cpu maybe? . it use around 80% of a dual core cpu on synology ds1512+

I am not sure if this is planned, but think it could help a lot of people on the Mac side 👍

when pressing c,p or m for sorting cpu usage, process id and memory usage, the arrow is upside down.

The default font of Windows Command Prompt does not have some unicode characters unlike Linux and OSX. If you run with the default font Consolas, you will get a result like this:

In this case, you need to change it to a Braille font:

1) Install Iosevka Font

• Download 01-iosevka-1.13.2.zip
• Double click to 01-iosevka-1.13.2.zip\ttf\iosevka-regular.ttf
• In the prompted window, click Install.

2) Add Iosevka to Command Prompt

• Open Regedit (Win+R type regedit)
• Open the following subkeys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

• Add a new String value named zeros (if there is already 00, new one should be 000), and Data Iosevka :

3) Change Command Prompt Font

• Right click to Command Prompt's bar, go to Properties.
• Set Font as Iosevka

The CPU & Memory history graphs seem to be vertically offset by a couple of lines, leaving 2-3 empty rows below the 0 row, and missing the 100 row at the top. Here's a screenshot:

This happens consistently regardless of how large I make the terminal window.

maybe hitting dd while a process is highlighted does a kill -9 to it?

After slack/gitter/discord/whatever memory and cpu sucking electron "app" runs for 2-3 days w/out restart I need an easy way to kill all the renamed Google Chrome Helpers so I can have my 12gb of memory each one needs back. Because chat obviousely needs more ram than BF1

Hey Ali,

I am handling infrastructure operations and it would be really helpful for us ; Could you please suggest us full procedure to implement over RHEL 6 Servers having local yum repository and suggest me about Node.js installation ..

Will there be any amount of resources consumption installing this ? Any possible impact ( if any ) ?

But It's OK in the system terminal.

I installed gtop on OSX and Raspberry Pi and I noticed very high cpu usage comparable to other monitoring solutions (htop using 1% or less). Raspberry Pi was sitting at 100% CPU utilization just for gtop and OSX was anywhere between 5-15% CPU usage at any given time. Are performance improvements on the roadmap?

Atm if you have >6 cores, colours get reused and the graph is a bit confusing.

Would you accept a PR to add more?

It looks great on my local machine though (4 cores), really nice work! :)

*Can I use it with Conky?

I think the way vtop does it is pretty great: j and k for moving in the process list along with g for going to the top and G to the bottom.

There's also a few more keybinds for other features in vtop, like dd for killing a process and h and l for zooming in and out of the graph timeline.

I also like how vtop shows a keybind help menu at the bottom of the screen. Would be nice to have that for the currect process sorting keybinds.

Add this into package.json and README.md.

I frequently use htop as part of a tilled terminal panel. I'll make that tile small, so it only shows the top graph. Rather than trying to display all the elements in a 100px high window, it might be better if gtop behaved similarly, allowing the user to just display the top graph on a small tile.

Here's an example in htop (top right):

It would be usefull to be able to search for the names of commands associated with processes.
For example i was watching this dropbox process and wondered why it peeked at 24% CPU usage, and then it suddenly dropped (to some unknown %), it would then have been nice to be able to search for "dropbox" to instantly find it again.

Maybe using some sort of fuzzy search library? (like fuzzysort)

No doubt abut that gtop is a handy tool. I think, to have an extension to keep old record and filtering would be value added for gtop

gtop interface lacks font(?) and shows question marks
Is there any dependency font needed?

It would be nice to add a (optional) panel which would provide info about nvidia GPUs (e.g. workload memory, temperature etc).

The key functionality is already implemented in the nvidia-smi tool. Maybe it would be sufficient to add a panel in which nvidia-smi -l 1 runs and provides the info?

Thanks for writing this, it's great!

One thing - disk fullness does not, typically, change quickly enough that realtime reporting of it is that useful.

I'd really appreciate the disk usage dial being replaced by graphs of IOPS and throughput, which are much more useful indicators of what the system is doing right now. With a L/R scale you can probably use the same graph area for both things.

For extra credit, an option to have separate lines per device (with deduping so things like devicemapper don't cause the same block device to show up twice) would be awesome.

I installed npm with yum -y install npm
then I installed gtop with npm install gtop -g

Putting in a request for a feature to be added to the package. The ability to combine processes by name in the process list. Example: Google Chrome Helper on OS X. There are many processes that contain the same name and it'd be easier to see what is hogging CPU/Memory if combined.
