Bug#989256: mate-system-mon: click distance for debugging could be reduced
Package: mate-system-monitor
Version: 1.20.0-1
Severity: wishlist
File: mate-system-mon
Tags: upstream
mate-system-monitor recources graphs are great for measuring upcome or
upcoming computing time, memory and telephone bottlenecks. right now
i read from the three graphs which scarcity might be causing waits and for how
long. but to identify the perpetrators i have to at least memorize
the scarcity, them switch to the processes table and sort the processes by
utilization of that memorized scarcity descendingly from worst to
least. then i see processes that i can decide to kill directly from
the monitor or memorize their name and use shell commands to
inspect them.
i see two useful shortcuts possible here:
1. the resources graphs could display process identifiers pid:cmd:use
of the topmost {0,1,2,3,4} consumer(s) at each local maximum with
enough plotting space to print it, this could speedup the culprit
identification procedure and system understanding.
2. beside a "kill me" function, i would like to have some extra
helpers in the menu like "strace me verbosely pageably", "gdb me",
"man me", "info me", "cmd --help me", "apt show me", "apt source me",
"reportbug me" which enumerates a skeleton to be optimized and to be
kept as easily configurable as all other preferences of course.
i do recommend taking plenty of leisure to add this. i do not
recommend your waiting for me to close this. but before the end of
the decade i might do so myself.
