* Package name : psrecord Version : 1.4 Upstream Contact: Thomas Robitaille thomas.robitai...@gmail.com * URL : https://github.com/astrofrog/psrecord * License : BSD-2-Clause Programming Lang: Python Description : A small utility that records the CPU and memory activity of a process. Can also output results to a plot. Psrecord is a small python CLI utility that attaches itself to a process and records its CPU and memory usage. It appends results every sample interval into a log file. It can also plot the data nicely into an image file at the end of a session using matplotlib. It provides an easier to use alternative to bash scripts based on ps or /proc files and is lightweight. The plotting feature is similar to heavier, more feature full benchmark utilities in a more minimal package. It provides a different use case compared to top/atop/htop in monitoring a single process for a long time without requiring active monitoring and could be useful in scripting. I began using it recently and find its minimal footprint useful for testing random processes on headless servers or constrained virtual machines which cannot run a more complete test suite. I plan to maintain this package alone for now. If the workload increases in the future, I might start looking for co-maintainers.
