|
|
|
refresh time. The total CPU usage is displayed on the first line.

|
|
|
* inter: number of interrupts per second

To switch to per-CPU stats, just hit the ``1`` key:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, ``steal`` CPU time alerts aren't logged. If you want that,
|
|
|
|
just add to the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[cpu]
|
|
|
|
steal_log=True
