Top CPU & MEMORY Consuming Sessions

Top CPU & MEMORY Consuming Sessions


Solution:

The ps (process status) command is handy for quickly identifying top resource-consuming processes. For example, this command displays the top 10 CPU-consuming resources on the box:

$ ps -e -o pcpu,pid,user,tty,args | sort -n -k 1 -r | head

Here is a partial listing of the output:

65.5 5017 oracle ? oracleO12C (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))
0.8 5014 oracle pts/1 sqlplus
0.8 23255 oracle ? ora_vktm_O12C

In the prior output, the process named oracleO12C is consuming an inordinate amount of CPU resources on the server. The process name identifies this as an Oracle process associated with the O12C database.

Similarly, you can also display the top memory-consuming processes:

$ ps -e -o pmem,pid,user,tty,args | sort -n -k 1 -r | head

Here is a snippet of the output:

11.2 5017 oracle ? oracleO12C (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))
7.1 23317 oracle ? ora_mmon_O12C
6.3 23285 oracle ? ora_dbw0_O12C
