NAME

SYNOPSIS

snmptop [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cp] [-Ca] [-C n | m | t ] AGENT

DESCRIPTION

AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented to monitor the given objects. At its simplest, the AGENT specification will consist of a hostname or an IPv4 address. In this situation, the command will attempt communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port 161 of the given target host. See the snmpcmd(1) manual page for a full list of the possible formats for AGENT.

snmptop emulates the top command using SNMP. While running, the keyboard inputs of 'c', 'n', 'm', 't' switches sorting between cpu, pid, memory, or total runtime. Typing 'i' toggles hiding idle processes, while 'o' toggles hiding Os processes. Typing 'a' toggles display of hrSWRunParameters, 'p' toggles display of hrSWRunPath.
