Monitoring Dolphin (File Manager) Memory Usage on CentOS
To monitor the memory usage of the Dolphin file manager (commonly associated with KDE) on a CentOS system, you can use a combination of command-line tools and graphical utilities. Below are step-by-step methods tailored to this task:

1. Identify the Dolphin Process

Before monitoring, locate the Dolphin process using the pgrep or ps command:

pgrep -fl dolphin
# or
ps aux | grep dolphin

This will display the process ID (PID) and command details of running Dolphin instances, which is essential for targeting specific processes in subsequent steps.

2. Use top for Real-Time Memory Monitoring

The top command provides real-time system-wide resource usage, including memory. To focus on Dolphin:

top

• Press Shift+M to sort processes by memory usage (highest to lowest).
• Look for the Dolphin process in the list and check the RES (resident memory) column, which shows the physical memory used by the process (in kilobytes).
• For a more dynamic view, use top -p <PID> (replace <PID> with Dolphin’s actual PID) to track only that process.

3. Enhanced Monitoring with htop

htop offers a more user-friendly interface than top and includes color-coded memory usage. Install and use it as follows:

sudo yum install epel-release && sudo yum install htop  # Install htop (if not already available)
htop

• Press F6 to sort by memory usage, then navigate to the Dolphin process.
• The MEM% column displays the percentage of total system memory used by Dolphin, while the RES column shows physical memory consumption.

4. Detailed Process Information with ps

The ps command provides a snapshot of process details, including memory usage. Run:

ps aux | grep dolphin

• Focus on the RSS (resident set size) column, which indicates the non-swapped physical memory used by the process (in kilobytes).
• For a cleaner output, use:

  ps -eo pid,user,rss,comm | grep dolphin
  

  This shows the PID, user, RSS (in kilobytes), and command name for Dolphin processes.

5. Graphical Tools for Intuitive Monitoring

For users preferring a graphical interface, two tools are recommended:

a. GNOME System Monitor

Install and run it to view Dolphin’s memory usage in a GUI:

sudo yum install gnome-system-monitor
gnome-system-monitor

• Navigate to the Processes tab, sort by Memory (descending), and locate Dolphin.
• The Memory Usage column shows the percentage of system memory used by the process, with additional details in the Memory section below.

b. KDE System Monitor

If you’re using a KDE environment, this tool integrates seamlessly with Dolphin:

sudo yum install kde-system-monitor
kde-system-monitor

• Go to the Processes tab, sort by Memory, and select the Dolphin process to view its memory consumption (similar to GNOME System Monitor).

Key Metrics to Track

When monitoring Dolphin’s memory usage, focus on these key metrics:

• RES (Resident Memory): Physical memory actively used by the process (critical for identifying memory leaks).
• MEM%: Percentage of total system memory consumed by Dolphin (helps gauge overall impact on system performance).
• RSS (Resident Set Size): Same as RES, represents non-swapped physical memory used by the process.

By using these methods, you can effectively monitor Dolphin’s memory usage on CentOS, identify potential performance bottlenecks, and take corrective action if necessary.
