watch_remote_top.py
Prompts for a remote host/IP, SSH username, and password (interactively,
password not echoed), then every 10 minutes:
- SSHes in and runs `top -bn1 -o %MEM` (one-shot, non-interactive, sorted by RAM)
- Saves the full raw output to a local log file
- Parses out CPU usage, RAM usage, and the top RAM-consuming process into a
local CSV summary
Everything is saved on THIS machine, not the remote host.
Requires: paramiko
pip install paramiko
Usage:
python3 watch_remote_top.py
python3 watch_remote_top.py --once # single run, no loop
python3 watch_remote_top.py --interval 5 # poll every 5 minutes instead of 10
python3 watch_remote_top.py --log-dir ./logs # where to save logs (default: ./TopLogs)
