How to find out cgroup of a particular process?
42,389
Solution 1
Using systemd (PID 3378 for example):
# systemctl status 3378 | grep CGroup
CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope
Using proc:
# cat /proc/3378/cgroup
10:memory:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
9:blkio:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
8:net_cls,net_prio:/
7:cpu,cpuacct:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
6:perf_event:/
5:freezer:/
4:cpuset:/
3:pids:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
2:devices:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
1:name=systemd:/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope
Looking into /sys/:
# cd /sys/fs/ && find * -name "*.procs" -exec grep 3378 {} /dev/null \; 2> /dev/null
cgroup/memory/user.slice/user-1000.slice/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/blkio/user.slice/user-1000.slice/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/net_cls,net_prio/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/user.slice/user-1000.slice/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/perf_event/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/freezer/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/cpuset/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-1000.slice/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/devices/user.slice/user-1000.slice/cgroup.procs:3378
cgroup/systemd/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope/cgroup.procs:3378
Solution 2
The quickest way to view cgroup of a process is by process name, using this bash script:
#!/bin/bash
THISPID=`ps -eo pid,comm | grep $1 | awk '{print $1}'`
cat /proc/$THISPID/cgroup
Solution 3
From RHEL7 and up, and on some other distro's, I find this util helpful:
$ systemd-cgtop
Before using it, make sure you have DefaultCPUAccounting=yes
in /etc/systemd/system.conf
.
I even made some improvements to Egbert's script that is still useful and used Patrick's suggestion to use pgrep
:
#!/bin/bash
echo "PID SLICE SERVICE"
for THISPID in `pgrep $1`; do
SLICE=$(cat /proc/$THISPID/cgroup | grep '^1:' | awk -F/ '{ print $2 }')
SERVICE=$(cat /proc/$THISPID/cgroup | grep '^1:' | awk -F/ '{ print $3 }')
echo "$THISPID $SLICE $SERVICE"
done

Is there any method to get
cgroup
of process?The only one package that I know (
cgroup-bin
), just provide some manipulations with cgroups and allow to change cgroup of process/list of processes, but no capabilities to know information about cgroup of a particular process.-

ps -o cgroup <pid>

zerospiel over 10 years@MIfe, yes, you are right, ty very much. This is what I need
-
zerospiel over 10 years@c4f4t0r, your method are not so good, it just output to me all available controllers, but not cgroup of a process, but ty you too.
