Configuring Topbeat

To configure Topbeat, you edit the topbeat.yml file. Here is a sample of the topbeat.yml file:

input:
  period: 10
  procs: [".*"]

The period option defines how often to read system-wide and per-process statistics from your servers. The interval is in seconds. By default, it’s set to 10 seconds.

The procs option defines a list of regular expressions to match all the processes that need to be monitored. By default, all the running processes are monitored.

If you are not interested in monitoring your processes, you can use:

input:
  period: 10
  procs: ["^$"]
