BOOTCHART(1)						      General Commands Manual						      BOOTCHART(1)

NAME

       bootchart - render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd

SYNOPSIS

       bootchart [-f|--format FORMAT] [-n|--no-prune] [-o|--output-dir DIR] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       bootchart  is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default).  bootchart builds the process tree
       and renders a performance chart in different formats.  The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency  and  overall  resource
       utilization.

OPTIONS

       -f,--format FORMAT
	      Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)

       -h, --help
	      Display brief usage message.

       -n, --no-prune
	      Do  not prune the process tree.  To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various
	      techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.).  This option disables such behavior.

       -o, --output-dir DIR
	      Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)

       -v, --version
	      Show program version.

FILES

       /var/log/bootchart.tgz
	      the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).

DESCRIPTION

       bootchartd.conf contains configuration options for the bootchartd logger.  The available options:

       TMPFS_SIZE
	      If the root file system is not writable at startup, bootchartd mounts a hidden temporary file system in /mnt to store its log files.
	      This options controls the size of this file system. default: 32m

       SAMPLE_PERIOD
	      Sampling period, in seconds.  default: 0.2

       PROCESS_ACCOUNTING
	      Whether to utilize BSD process accounting for a more accurate process tree.  Note that the kernel needs to be configured to  include
	      CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3.  accton(8) from the GNU accounting utilities is also required.  default: no

       BOOTLOG_DEST
	      Log file tarball destination.  default: /var/log/bootchart.tgz

       AUTO_RENDER
	      Whether  to  automatically  generate  the  boot chart once the boot logger completes.  The boot chart will be generated in AUTO_REN-
	      DER_DIR.	default: no

       AUTO_RENDER_FORMAT
	      Image format to use for the auto-generated boot chart (choose between png, svg and eps).	default: png

       AUTO_RENDER_DIR
