Connect to URI given. The default is to connect to the Xen
hypervisor.
+ To connect to QEMU/KVM you would normally do *-c qemu:///system*
+
+ To connect to libvirtd on a remote machine you would normally do *-c
+ xen://host/*
+
+ Full details on connection URIs is available at
+ <http://libvirt.org/uri.html>
+
-d delay
Set the delay between screen updates in seconds. The default is 3.0
seconds. You can change this while virt-top is running by pressing
the program was compiled (see *README* file in the source
distribution for details).
+ To save space you can compress your CSV files (if your shell
+ supports this feature, eg. *bash*):
+
+ virt-top --csv >(gzip -9 > output.csv.gz)
+
+ You can use a similar trick to split the CSV file up. In this
+ example the CSV file is split every 1000 lines into files called
+ *output.csv.00*, *output.csv.01* etc.
+
+ virt-top --csv >(split -d -l 1000 - output.csv.)
+
+ --no-csv-cpu
+ Disable domain CPU stats in CSV output.
+
+ --no-csv-block
+ Disable domain block device stats in CSV output.
+
+ --no-csv-net
+ Disable domain network interface stats in CSV output.
+
--debug filename
Send debug and error messages to *filename*. To send error messages
to syslog you can do:
See also REPORTING BUGS below.
+ --init-file filename
+ Read *filename* as the init file instead of the default which is
+ *$HOME/.virt-toprc*. See also INIT FILE below.
+
+ --no-init-file
+ Do not read any init file.
+
+ --script
+ Script mode. There will be no user interface. This is most useful
+ when used together with the *--csv* and *-n* options.
+
+ --end-time time
+ The program will exit at the *time* given.
+
+ The time may be given in one of the following formats:
+
+ *YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS*
+ End time is the date and time given.
+
+ *HH:MM:SS*
+ End time is the time given, today.
+
+ *+HH:MM:SS*
+ End time is HH hours, MM minutes, SS seconds in the future
+ (counted from the moment that program starts).
+
+ *+secs*
+ End time is *secs* seconds in the future.
+
+ For example to run the program for 3 minutes you could do:
+
+ virt-top --end-time +00:03:00
+
+ or:
+
+ virt-top --end-time +180
+
+ Not every version of virt-top supports this option - it depends how
+ the program was compiled (see *README* file in the source
+ distribution for details).
+
--help
Display usage summary.
*F* Select the sort field interactively (there are other sort fields you
can choose using this key).
+ *W* This creates or overwrites the init file with the current settings.
+
+ This key is disabled if *--no-init-file* was specified on the
+ command line or if *overwrite-init-file false* is given in the init
+ file.
+
+INIT FILE
+ When virt-top starts up, it reads initial settings from the file
+ *.virt-toprc* in the user's home directory.
+
+ The name of this file may be overridden using the *--init-file filename*
+ command line option or may be disabled entirely using *--no-init-file*.
+
+ The init file has a simple format. Blank lines and comments beginning
+ with *#* are ignored. Everything else is a set of *key value* pairs,
+ described below.
+
+ display *task|pcpu|block|net*
+ Sets the major display mode to one of *task* (tasks, the default),
+ *pcpu* (physical CPUs), *block* (block devices), or *net* (network
+ interfaces).
+
+ delay *secs*
+ Sets the delay between display updates in seconds.
+
+ hist-cpu *secs*
+ Sets the historical CPU delay in seconds.
+
+ iterations *n*
+ Sets the number of iterations to run before we exit. Setting this to
+ *-1* means to run continuously.
+
+ sort *cpu|mem|time|id|name|...*
+ Sets the sort order. The option names are the same as for the
+ command line *-o* option.
+
+ connect *uri*
+ Sets the default connection URI.
+
+ debug *filename*
+ Sets the default filename to use for debug and error messages.
+
+ csv *filename*
+ Enables CSV output to the named file.
+
+ csv-cpu *true|false*
+ Enable or disable domain CPU stats in CSV output.
+
+ csv-block *true|false*
+ Enable or disable domain block device stats in CSV output.
+
+ csv-net *true|false*
+ Enable or disable domain network interface stats in CSV output.
+
+ batch *true|false*
+ Sets batch mode.
+
+ secure *true|false*
+ Sets secure mode.
+
+ script *true|false*
+ Sets script mode.
+
+ end-time *time*
+ Set the time at which the program exits. See above for the time
+ formats supported.
+
+ overwrite-init-file *false*
+ If set to *false* then the *W* key will not overwrite the init file.
+
+ Note that in the current implementation, options specified in the init
+ file override options specified on the command line. This is a bug and
+ this behaviour may change in the future.
