# NAME
|
||||
nohang - A sophisticated low memory handler
|
||||
|
||||
# SYNOPSIS
|
||||
**nohang** [**OPTION**]...
|
||||
|
||||
# DESCRIPTION
|
||||
nohang is a highly configurable daemon for Linux which is able to correctly prevent out of memory (OOM) and keep system responsiveness in low memory conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
# REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
#### For basic usage:
|
||||
- Linux (>= 3.14, since MemAvailable appeared in /proc/meminfo)
|
||||
- Python (>= 3.3)
|
||||
|
||||
#### To respond to PSI metrics (optional):
|
||||
- Linux (>= 4.20) with CONFIG_PSI=y
|
||||
|
||||
#### To show GUI notifications (optional):
|
||||
- notification server (most of desktop environments use their own implementations)
|
||||
- libnotify (Arch Linux, Fedora, openSUSE) or libnotify-bin (Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu)
|
||||
- sudo if nohang started with UID=0.
|
||||
|
||||
# OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
#### -h, --help
|
||||
show this help message and exit
|
||||
|
||||
#### -v, \-\-version
|
||||
show version of installed package and exit
|
||||
|
||||
#### -m, \-\-memload
|
||||
consume memory until 40 MiB (MemAvailable + SwapFree) remain free, and terminate the process
|
||||
|
||||
#### -c CONFIG, \-\-config CONFIG
|
||||
path to the config file. This should only be used with one of the following options:
|
||||
\-\-monitor, \-\-tasks, --check
|
||||
|
||||
#### --check
|
||||
check and show the configuration and exit. This should only be used with -c/--config CONFIG option
|
||||
|
||||
#### --monitor
|
||||
start monitoring. This should only be used with -c/--config CONFIG option
|
||||
|
||||
#### --tasks
|
||||
show tasks state and exit. This should only be used with -c/--config CONFIG option
|
||||
|
||||
# HOW TO CONFIGURE
|
||||
The program can be configured by editing the config file. The configuration includes the following sections:
|
||||
|
||||
- Memory levels to respond to as an OOM threat
|
||||
- Response on PSI memory metrics
|
||||
- The frequency of checking the level of available memory (and CPU usage)
|
||||
- The prevention of killing innocent victims
|
||||
- Impact on the badness of processes via matching their names, cmdlines and UIDs with regular expressions
|
||||
- The execution of a specific command or sending any signal instead of sending the SIGTERM signal
|
||||
- GUI notifications:
|
||||
- notifications of corrective actions taken
|
||||
- low memory warnings
|
||||
- Verbosity
|
||||
- Misc
|
||||
|
||||
Just read the description of the parameters and edit the values. Restart the daemon to apply the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
# HOW TO TEST
|
||||
The safest way is to run **nohang --memload**. This causes memory consumption, and the process will exits before OOM occurs. Another way is to run **tail /dev/zero**. This causes fast memory comsumption and causes OOM at the end. If testing occurs while nohang is running, these processes should be terminated before OOM occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
# LOGGING
|
||||
To view the latest entries in the log (for systemd users):
|
||||
|
||||
$ **sudo journalctl -eu nohang.service**
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
$ **sudo journalctl -eu nohang-desktop.service**
|
||||
|
||||
You can also enable **separate_log** in the config to logging in **/var/log/nohang/nohang.log**.
