NAME¶
nethogs - Net top tool grouping bandwidth per process
SYNOPSIS¶
nethogs [-h] [-V] [-d] [-v] [-t] [-c] [-p] [-s] [device(s)]
DESCRIPTION¶
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most such tools do, it groups bandwidth by process - and does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. So if there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this, and if it's some kind of spinning process, kill it.
Options¶
- -h
- display available commands usage.
- -V
- prints Version info.
- -d
- delay for refresh rate.
- -v
- select view mode
- -p
- sniff in promiscious mode (not recommended).
- -t
- tracemode.
- -c
- limit number of refreshes
- -s
- sort by traffic sent
device(s) to monitor. By default eth0 is being used.
