Find memory used by Services.


Hello

I know how to find memory used by processes by using ps or top command. But how do I find memory usage by services.

I want to see how much these each service are consuming ram.
Code:
systemctl list-unit-files --type service --state enabled
UNIT FILE                                   STATE

Give htop a try - it shows services and memory used on my box. Can't speak for whether it shows this data in distros using systemd because I use runit.

Your using Ubuntu. right? Why don't you just use the system monitor? It's graphic and preinstalled on all the Ubuntus I have run.

No. It's Fedora 27. System Monitor shows only processes. I'm referring to services.

Anyway came across this article monitoring systemd services by using systemd-cgtop. Will check and see if it works.

So, you want to display only services in the output?
Code:
$ ps auxU root

That cgtop looks interesting - note on F27 you will have to enable most of that accounting yourself.

I agree with syg00.

Look at man systemd-cgtop or check this link: https://www.freedesktop.org/software...emd-cgtop.html

Here's a bit of the output:

Code:
$ systemd-cgtop

Path                                     Tasks   %CPU   Memory  Input/s Output/s

/                                          193      -     2.1G        -        -
/system.slice/ModemManager.service           1      -        -        -        -
/system.slice/NetworkManager.service         2      -        -        -        -
/system.slice/abrt-oops.service              1      -        -        -        -
Most services, as opposed to daemons (processes) were using little or no memory.

After following the steps (except last one) as mentioned on this website, I'm getting the following result:

/system.slice/geoclue.service              3      -     4.0K        -        -
But, If I check the total residential memory usage of samba through ps, I get this result.

Code:
 
# pidof smbd
971 905 904 823

# ps -o pid,user,rss,comm -C $(pidof smbd)
  PID USER       RSS COMMAND
  823 root     20800 smbd
  904 root      4956 smbd-notifyd
  905 root      4232 cleanupd
Please note that for samba systemd-cgtop show memory usage of 1.7mb, whereas ps show the usage of nearly 30mb. Also, both systemd-cgtop and pidof smbd shows same 4 tasks. But in pf command, only 3 tasks are shown, PID 971, in this case, is missing.

How come there is a difference. Appreciate if someone explains why.

Thanks

I don't know the answer to your last question about the missing pid (although I note that the -C wants process names, not pids, so I don't understand how it works at all... -p wants a pidlist), but isn't the ps total shown nearly 30Kb -- not 30Mb???

You're right I should have used -p. For some good reason, Its now showing correctly. And I think its mb not kb.

Code:
$ systemd-cgtop -m | grep smb
/system.slice/smb.service                           4      -    22.8M        -        -

$ ps -o pid,user,rss,comm -p $(pidof smbd)
