CPU Usage Logger is a simple utility program that logs high CPU usage and tracks the CPU usage of processes on your system. The program was created by Rubin Raithel (@Coronon) and can be downloaded from the GitHub repository.

• Logs spikes in total CPU usage and CPU usage of individual processes
• Supports both CLI and logging to a file
• Allows customization of thresholds and measurement parameters

The program can be run using the following command:

cpu-usage-logger [OPTIONS]

The available options are:

• -b, --time-between-measurements: How long to wait between measurements in seconds (default: 5)
• -m, --measurement-time: How long to measure for in seconds (CPU usage is an average over this time) (default: 1)
• -t, --total-log-threshold: Threshold of total CPU usage to start logging at in percent (default: 30)
• -p, --process-log-threshold: Threshold of single process CPU usage to start logging at in percent (default: 15)
• -n, --number-of-processes-to-show: Number of top CPU consuming processes to log when total_log_threshold is exceeded and to show in the CLI (default: 5)
• -c, --cli: CLI mode - periodically write stats to stdout
• -l, --log-file: Path to log file
• -h, --help: Print help
• -V, --version: Print version

To start logging CPU usage with the default settings, simply run the following command:

cpu-usage-logger

To log CPU usage to a file, use the following command:

cpu-usage-logger -l mylog.txt

To run the program in CLI mode, use the following command:

cpu-usage-logger -c
