Add cgroup-based process grouping to the resource collector. Processes are grouped by their cgroup path, with container names resolved via configurable process-to-container mapping. New features: - Read cgroup info from /proc/[pid]/cgroup (supports v1 and v2) - Parse K8s resource notation (500m, 1Gi, etc.) for CPU/memory limits - Group metrics by container using CGROUP_PROCESS_MAP env var - Calculate usage percentages against limits from CGROUP_LIMITS env var - Output cgroup metrics with CPU cores used, memory RSS, and percentages Environment variables: - CGROUP_PROCESS_MAP: Map process names to container names for discovery - CGROUP_LIMITS: Define CPU/memory limits per container in K8s notation Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Identify Process Cgroup by PID
|
|
|
|
## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
You can identify a process's cgroup by reading `/proc/<PID>/cgroup`.
|
|
|
|
## Outcome
|
|
|
|
Multiple methods to find which cgroup a process belongs to using its PID.
|
|
|
|
## Conversation
|
|
|
|
**Question:** Can I identify the process's cgroup by having its PID?
|
|
|
|
**Answer:** Yes, here are the main methods:
|
|
|
|
### Method 1: Read `/proc/<PID>/cgroup`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat /proc/<PID>/cgroup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This shows all cgroup controllers the process belongs to. For example:
|
|
```
|
|
12:blkio:/user.slice
|
|
11:memory:/user.slice/user-1000.slice
|
|
...
|
|
0::/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Method 2: Using `ps` with format options
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ps -o pid,cgroup -p <PID>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Method 3: Using `systemd-cgls`
|
|
|
|
If you're on a systemd system:
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemd-cgls --unit <unit-name>
|
|
# or to see the whole tree
|
|
systemd-cgls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Method 4: Check cgroup v2 unified hierarchy
|
|
|
|
On cgroup v2 systems, check:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat /proc/<PID>/cgroup
|
|
# Output will look like: 0::/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The path after `::` is the cgroup path under `/sys/fs/cgroup/`.
|
|
|
|
### Quick one-liner
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat /proc/self/cgroup # For current shell
|
|
cat /proc/$$/cgroup # Also current shell
|
|
cat /proc/1234/cgroup # For PID 1234
|
|
```
