The perf ilist command is a textual app [1] similar to perf list. In the top-left pane a tree of PMUs is displayed. Selecting a PMU expands the events within it. Selecting an event displays the `perf list` style event information in the top-right pane. When an event is selected it is opened and the counters on each CPU the event is for are periodically read. The bottom of the screen contains a scrollable set of sparklines showing the events in total and on each CPU. Scrolling below the sparklines shows the same data as raw counts. The sparklines are small graphs where the height of the bar is in relation to maximum of the other counts in the graph. By default the counts are read with an interval of 0.1 seconds (10 times per second). A -I/--interval command line option allows the interval to be changed. The oldest read counts are dropped when the counts fill the line causing the sparkline to move from right to left. A search box can be pulled up with the 's' key. 'n' and 'p' iterate through the search results. As some PMUs have hundreds of events a 'c' key will collapse the events in the current PMU to make navigating the PMUs easier. [1] https://textual.textualize.io/ Committer testing: This needs a bit more polishing, to test it I had to go thru some hops: $ python ilist python: can't open file '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/ilist': [Errno 2] No such file or directory $ $ python tools/perf/python/ilist.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/ilist.py", line 8, in <module> from textual import on ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'textual' $ $ sudo dnf install textual Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. Failed to resolve the transaction: No match for argument: textual You can try to add to command line: --skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages $ After some searching I installed the 'python3-textual' and it starts, allowing traversing the various pmus and events, see descriptions on the upper right side and a view of the events on the lower half of the screen. Interesting for quickly iterating thru the available events.
