| .TH "LM-PROFILER.CONF" "8" |
| .SH "NAME" |
| .I /etc/laptop-mode/lm-profiler.conf |
| \- Configuration file for \fIlm-profiler\fP, a profiler for laptop-mode-tools. |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .PP |
| This manual page documents the options that can be set in the |
| .I /etc/laptop-mode/lm-profiler.conf |
| configuration file. For a description of what lm-profiler does, see the |
| lm-profiler(8) manpage. |
| |
| .SH "SETTINGS" |
| .PP |
| The syntax of options is \fBOPTION=value\fP. |
| |
| .PP |
| The following settings are available in \fIlm-profiler.conf\fP: |
| |
| .IP "\fBVERBOSE_OUTPUT\fP" 10 |
| Set this to 1 if you want to see a lot of output when you run lm-profiler, |
| and 0 if you don't want this. Useful for debugging purposes. (Currently |
| does nothing.) |
| |
| .IP "\fBPROFILE_RUN_LENGTH\fP" 10 |
| The length of a profiling run, in seconds. This should be a while, so that |
| lm-profiler can gather enough information. The default is 10 minutes (600 |
| seconds). |
| |
| .IP "\fBACTIVITY_INTERVAL_MIN\fP" 10 |
| .IP "\fBACTIVITY_INTERVAL_MAX\fP" 10 |
| The behaviour that you want to avoid when you have your hard |
| drive spun down, is disk accesses that are spread out over time, because |
| your hard drive will have to spin up for each access. lm-profiler detects |
| when applications perform disk accesses that are at least some time apart |
| (otherwise they can be considered part of the same access) but not TOO |
| far apart (otherwise they are no problem). These settings configure what |
| lm-profiler considers "at least some time apart" and "too far apart", |
| respectively, in seconds. |
| |
| .IP "\fBRECOMMEND_DEFAULT_SERVICES\fP" 10 |
| .IP "\fBDEFAULT_SERVICES\fP" 10 |
| If \fBRECOMMEND_DEFAULT_SERVICES\fP is set to 1 (enabled), then lm-profiler will always |
| suggest turning off the services listed in \fBDEFAULT_SERVICES\fP (separated by |
| spaces). |
| |
| .IP "\fBIGNORE_PROGRAMS\fP" 10 |
| Programs listed in this option, separated by spaces, will be ignored for |
| disk activity profiling. The default settings (which can be referenced |
| as \fB$DEF_IGNORE_PROGRAMS\fP) include common utility programs and all programs |
| used by lm-profiler itself. |
| |
| .IP "\fBRECOMMEND_NETWORK_SERVICES\fP" 10 |
| When this option is enabled (value 1), lm-profiler will detect any services |
| that are listening on network ports, and it will suggest that you disable |
| them. |
| |
| .IP "\fBIGNORE_NETWORK_SERVICES\fP" 10 |
| Services listed in this configuration option (separated by spaces) are not |
| suggested as a network service by lm-profiler. The default values can be |
| accessed as \fB$DEF_IGNORE_NETWORK_SERVICES\fP. |
