HI,
I'm trying to monitor the usage of an application (a video decoder) which is
alone in a cgroup (video_group).
The latter contains the subsystems : cpu, memory and cpuacct.usage.
I've tried to read cpuacct value with :
- lxc-cgroup -n video_group cpuacct.usage
- a fopen and fscanf of the file /cgroups/video_group/cpuacct.usage
I would like to account for the cpu time spent in decoding one frame, thus a
few milliseconds.
With both of my tries the value is not updated quickly enough and I get the
same value at the beginning and at the end of the decoding process.
If I use strace or gdb, then the value is changed. Hence my guess that the
update is not fast enough.
I would have expected to have the up to date value when accessing
cpuacct.usage through lxc-cgroup.
Do you know why this is not the case ?
Do you know the best way to achieve what I want ?
cheers,
Maxime
