Display a summary of the operating system noise

:Manual section: 1

SYNOPSIS
========
**rtla osnoise top** [*OPTIONS*]

DESCRIPTION
===========
.. include:: common_osnoise_description.rst

**rtla osnoise top** collects the periodic summary from the *osnoise* tracer,
including the counters of the occurrence of the interference source,
displaying the results in a user-friendly format.

The tool also allows many configurations of the *osnoise* tracer and the
collection of the tracer output.

OPTIONS
=======
.. include:: common_osnoise_options.rst

.. include:: common_top_options.rst

.. include:: common_options.rst

EXAMPLE
=======
In the example below, the **rtla osnoise top** tool is set to run with a
real-time priority *FIFO:1*, on CPUs *0-3*, for *900ms* at each period
(*1s* by default). The reason for reducing the runtime is to avoid starving
the rtla tool. The tool is also set to run for *one minute* and to display
a summary of the report at the end of the session::

[root@f34 ~]# rtla osnoise top -P F:1 -c 0-3 -r 900000 -d 1M -q
