<title > Description</title>
<para > <command > systemd-cgtop</command> shows the top control
groups of the local Linux control group hierarchy, ordered by
their CPU, memory, or disk I/O load. The display is refreshed in
regular intervals (by default every 1s), similar in style to
2016-06-05 20:42:37 +03:00
<citerefentry project= 'man-pages' > <refentrytitle > top</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 1</manvolnum> </citerefentry> .
If a control group path is specified, shows only the services of
the specified control group.</para>

and <literal > io</literal> controller for disk I/O consumption. If resource monitoring for these resources
