ROS Process Info

A simple node to convert the Process Info of your node-process to a ROS Topic.

Installation

$ bzr branch lp:rosprocessinfo ~/ros/
$ export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros/rosprocessinfo:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
$ rosmake rosprocessinfo

Usage

Suppose you want to log the process information of nodes: /node/name1 /node/name2

$ rosrun rosprocessinfo /node/name1 /node/name2

This will should publish new topics with names "/node/name1/processinfo", "/node/name2/processinfo".

$ rostopic list | grep processinfo
/node/name1/processinfo
/node/name2/processinfo

You are all set. You can use these topics in any way you want. To plot them with rxplot use

$ rxplot /node/name1/processinfo/RSS:SIZE /node/name1/processinfo/CPU

To record them into bagfiles use:

$ rosbag record /node/name1/processinfo /node/name2/processinfo
