Not so sure if this feature really falls in the scope of a system monitor... Some suggestions: 1) you can easily extend the time period shown in ksysguard: right click on graph, settings, scale -> pixels per time period, lower it to your liking. I have it set to 1, that way you can easily span a period of 10 min on an FHD screen on full width. 2) do a screenshot instead :-) I'd like to second this feature request. The atop command provides this with 'z', and in conjunction with filtering it is highly useful for examining short-lived or rapidly changing processes. As a workaround for ksysguard, it is possible to use 'kill -SIGSTOP' and 'kill -SIGCONT', but switching to a terminal to do this is a bit of a hassle and since the GUI loses all interactivity it's really no better than taking a screenshot. Particularly in conjunction with the ability to quick search, the ability to pause on a particular snapshot of the process table would be quite useful. ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task. If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks! |
