toprs

toprs

Cross platform alternative to top with a focus on analysing memory usage. In addition to each process having only their memory usage, it also has the sum of all child process memory usage.

running

Install via for tui and gui:
$ cargo install toprs
or with tui only and no gui:
$ cargo install toprs --no-default-features
Run toprs for console or toprs -g for gui

If you want to always run as Gui mode, add the following to your config file located

• ~/.config/toprs/config.toml
• c:\Users\Name\.config\toprs\config.toml
• /etc/toprs/config.toml

Tui mode

Operating modes

Run toprs with the following flags

• Console (TUI) mode [-t]
• GUI mode [-g]
• Output flamegraph to SVG [-s ]
• Output memory usage to terminal [-o]

Gui

Processes are listed like in TUI mode, but there is also a memory analysis section which analyses the memory usage in two modes: Sunburst and Flamegraph. Sunburst mode allows you to click on a process to drill down. You can increase or decrease the max depth to your preference. Both Sunburst and Flamegraph indicate top 5 (own memory) processes in Red, and the rest in fading yellow, depending on amount. Flamegraph blue portion is child memory, and red/yellow is its own memory

FAQ

• What memory is it using?

  • In windows this is the "working set"

  • In Linux this is the "resident" memory i.e. used physical memory

Shoutout to the following projects that made this possible:

• rust Sysinfo lib
• GUI mode uses Dioxus to manage window and contents
• TUI mode uses tuirs
• Plotly for chart
