podman-pod-top(1) General Commands Manual podman-pod-top(1)
NAME
podman-pod-top - Display the running processes of containers in a pod
SYNOPSIS
podman pod top [options] pod [format-descriptors]
DESCRIPTION
Display the running processes of containers in a pod. The format-de-
scriptors are ps (1) compatible AIX format descriptors but extended to
print additional information, such as the seccomp mode or the effective
capabilities of a given process. The descriptors can either be passed as
separate arguments or as a single comma-separated argument.
OPTIONS
--help, -h
Print usage statement
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the pod name or ID, use the last created pod.
Note: the last started pod can be from other users of Podman on the host
machine. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client,
including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
FORMAT DESCRIPTORS
For a full list of available descriptors, see podman-top(1)
EXAMPLES
Print top data for the specified pod. By default, podman-pod-top prints
data similar to ps -ef:
$ podman pod top b031293491cc
USER PID PPID %CPU ELAPSED TTY TIME COMMAND
root 1 0 0.000 2h5m38.737137571s ? 0s top
root 8 0 0.000 2h5m15.737228361s ? 0s top
The output can be controlled by specifying format descriptors as argu-
ments after the pod.
Print the pod top data fields pid,seccomp, args and %C on the latest pod
created. (This -l option is not available with the remote Podman client,
including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
$ podman pod top -l pid seccomp args %C
PID SECCOMP COMMAND %CPU
1 filter top 0.000
1 filter /bin/sh 0.000
