LM-PROFILER.CONF(8)LM-PROFILER.CONF(8)NAME
/etc/laptop-mode/lm-profiler.conf - Configuration file for lm-profiler,
a profiler for laptop-mode-tools.
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the options that can be set in the /etc/lap‐
top-mode/lm-profiler.conf configuration file. For a description of
what lm-profiler does, see the lm-profiler(8) manpage.
SETTINGS
The syntax of options is OPTION=value.
The following settings are available in lm-profiler.conf:
VERBOSE_OUTPUT
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 debug‐
ging purposes. (Currently does nothing.)
PROFILE_RUN_LENGTH
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).
ACTIVITY_INTERVAL_MIN
ACTIVITY_INTERVAL_MAX
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 config‐
ure what lm-profiler considers "at least some time apart" and
"too far apart", respectively, in seconds.
RECOMMEND_DEFAULT_SERVICES
DEFAULT_SERVICES
If RECOMMEND_DEFAULT_SERVICES is set to 1 (enabled), then lm-
profiler will always suggest turning off the services listed
in DEFAULT_SERVICES (separated by spaces).
IGNORE_PROGRAMS
Programs listed in this option, separated by spaces, will be
ignored for disk activity profiling. The default settings
(which can be referenced as $DEF_IGNORE_PROGRAMS) include
common utility programs and all programs used by lm-profiler
itself.
RECOMMEND_NETWORK_SERVICES
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.
IGNORE_NETWORK_SERVICES
Services listed in this configuration option (separated by
spaces) are not suggested as a network service by lm-pro‐
filer. The default values can be accessed as $DEF_IGNORE_NET‐
WORK_SERVICES.
