In htop there is a way to filter the list to a pattern. This would be the best possible feature to add here.

Hello I would like you to put that function and put password (would be wonderful).

#feature request

As we know , the system account in windows is like the root account in Linux -- the most power user.

There are many process or services run as system user, include windows itself service and 3rd software like antivirus software - more detail ,let's say it's symantec endpoint protection

Sometimes antivirus software just do some shitty things , I just want to kill it to continue my job.

Let's say we have bellow scenario:
ntop is running under my account: xxx.xx , and my account is in the local administrators group, will it possible to elevate current account to system account by ntop itself, in order to kill the process run as system account.

I think it is great to can install this app from windows store.

to achieving this goal we have to use App Installer and create app package and then distribute with free developer account into Windows Store.

I am using ntop on a rather underpowered box. (Its actually a Pentium NUC running Ubuntu, and Windows 10 is running under VirtualBox, and then I SSH into Windows 10 and run ntop over SSH). With the default refresh rate of every second, ntop pegs CPU usage at 100%. I'd like to reconfigure it to refresh every 5 seconds instead, but there doesn't appear to be any option to do this other than edit source code and recompile.

Not sure if the windows APIs would support such a feature, but it would be great if ntop could report usage by each CPU core (similar to how to htop is doing)

I remember , I can run ntop on remote computer when I remote to a computer with powershell. I think it was in 2019,
But I find I can not do that now.
Is there anything change that cause fail to run it remotely ,any advise ?

It would be awesome to get the CPU temp readings along with the load similar to bashtop

I work in powershell much more than in cmd enviroment .

When runs ntop in powershell ,the color or the Backcolor looks odd in powershell , but work well in cmd.

It seems work well if you run the ntop.exe only within powershell , but when you try the option like ntop.exe -h , you will see the problem. see bellow image for more detail

After hitting ntop, it's nothing but flash cursor in WinRM:

Hello,

The memory usage does not change over time like CPU usage, I have to close the app an re-lunch it, for it to update.

Thanks for such great tool.

In Process Hacker 2 the parent process shows the total memory/cpu usage by all child processes in the parent process. This really helps to dig out which application is using the most resources. Is this already available? If not, can it be added to :tree view?

When ntop is working, the header disapeares and reappeares each update time (regardless if it's in cmd.exe or ConEmu), which looks like everything jumps up and down. I installed it from chocolatey. Here the screenshots:

NT AUTHORITY\СИСТЕМА russian localization name for NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM shows as ╤╚╤╥┼╠└
NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE shows as SYSTEM
https://www.online-decoder.com/ru converted it from ibm437 to windows-1251

use key h and l to navigate horizontally like vim.

Please, anyone seems for 64bits processors for NTop.

The layout seems has a little mess ,please see bellow image.
Could you please align the value of every column to left or right , not to the center .

Because in the ubuntu, the htop can show the GPU resources occupation, I really hope this has one too :)

Only using shortcuts seems limiting. Let's add a "vi-mode" with which we can input commands.

My ideas for some nice commands to implement would be:

• / for searching
• q for quit
• sort COLUMN for sorting
• dump - dump entire list of processes to file
• commands for creating multiple tabs maybe?

Hi,

I think this tools is great so I think it is good to add this tool to winget repository to get mush more easier to install it.

thanks

🎃
Please check if there is anything similar for Mac OS

Tested using CMake + Visual Studio 2022 17.44; it works.

Right now, I have to run ntop -h to know the in-application controls. See the image of HTOP below for the idea. Maybe having F1 toggle the more detailed help menu of the -h command?

I've tried this on a couple PCs at this point, one Win 11 and one 10. They both have similar results. NTop reports significantly lower utilization than Windows Task Manager for any given process (I've tested with a browser on a CPU load test site, Unity apps, etc).

The weird thing is that I only found NTop because I was trying to do this with PowerShell and it was inaccurate. The inaccuracies for Get-Process and Get-Counter seem to be similar to NTop. Again, I've tried this on multiple systems. What is going on?

Here's an example: https://imgur.com/gyApdCS

Hi would you make it available on winget too?

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

Large PID ( 7+ Digits) wrecks the formatting, so before rendering ntop should figure out the max length of PID is and take this into consideration

I was very impressed with your tools. Can you release this tool so that it can be installed via Chocolatey Package Manager?

Today , one of user complain that why her outlook's connection so slowly. she didn't see any new email in her mailbox . but someone already sent her many new emails in this morning.

Then I came up with an idea , will it possible to add the network usage (Receive (B/sec) Total (B/sec)) for each process in this tool.

Under the GUI of Resource Monitor ,in the tab of Network , we can see an area called Network Activity , it list image , PID, Address, Send(B/sec), Receive(B/sec), Total(B/sec).

I hope you add network usage {Send(B/sec), Receive(B/sec), Total(B/sec).} into your tool , maybe looks like too many feature inside this tool .

I prefer you can make these features into an individual tool , name it with Ntna or just Na (Network Activity).

Thank you!

For processes like java.exe you can't differentiate between instances unless you can see what the command line arguments are. The command in top is "c". It seems to be the default behavior for htop to show the command line arguments.

It looks like it's gone from choco. Any updates from the author?

For some reason, all usernames (except Administrator where I'm running ntop) show up as SYSTEM when I try to run it on a remote desktop server. The processes are there, just USER is showing as SYSTEM. Any idea why or how to fix?

There is no ntop.conf created during installation. So I created one using the example content from the Readme page. But I do not know where to put it! I tried putting it under C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\ and C:\Users\MyUsername\ and into a folder that is in the PATH. None of it worked. Where is the expected location of ntop.conf?

Using :kill <ID> is a very specific action, and very helpful for sure. But I believe the ability to kill every process with a specific name would be handy for many as well. If a program runs multiple processes, it can be a bother to kill it entirely with NTop. You'd have to :search for the name and mark every process that comes up, and only then you'd be able to kill it with shift-k.
Maybe you could even include regexp searching.

Let's take Firefox as an example. You'd have to :search firefox and spam n & space, then finish it off with shift-k to actually close that program. It'd be much more efficient to just use :kill firefox.

Really nice project!
Could you please consider adding a license ?
GitHub makes is very easy:

Hello ,

With GUI task manager , we can see CPU, memory , disk usage for each process.
But in your current program , it miss disk usage for each process,
Will it possible to add it to this program for you ?

Of course , it is still very very cool without that part to windows platform.
Hope to have good news from you!

Let's say I have a process notepad.exe

I want to search it by enter : notepad

then I hope that process can be highlight, then I can tag it and kill it or do something else.

BR

Like htop linux, please.

Thanks

I can sort on all columns except the command column
what I did exactly : sort COMMAND
It shows me unknown column: command

MEM looks like to be represented using a 32bit unsigned, instead of 64bit one.
This show not correct data, and the sorting is broken as well.

I have processes that have high memory usage

Image above shown using "-s mem"

but on the bottom of those processes, I have 2 high mem usage that did not got sorted

NTOP shows incorrect CPU utilization for the Intel Core 13th generation.

Would be interesting to update README including the winget installation method alongside scoop and chocolatey.

In htop, there is a system load average value indicators. Due to the platform's missing feature, it could be not easy to calculate and display system load average values in Windows. But recently I found someone implemented this feature in Windows with Python.

I wish if you can add this feature to Ntop utility.
