a simple Linux loadavg tracer
Note: the main branch support only TencentOS.
- for CentOS7 3.10 kernel support please go to CentOS7 branch.
- for CentOS7 with elrepo kernel above 5.x, you shoud install devtoolset-9 and above, then use it to build this module
scl enable devtoolset-9 bash
just install kernel dev package and run make
insmod loadavg_tracer.ko [load_threshold=10] [dump_interval=5]
# eg:
# dump task name and stack every 5 seconds when 1 minute loadavg is higher than 20
insmod loadavg_tracer.ko load_threshold=20
