usage: proxtop [-h] [-T TOP] [-t TIMEFRAME] [-g AGGREGATION] [--partial-match]
               hostname username [only_vms [only_vms ...]]

proxtop lists the top resource consumers on your Proxmox VM platform.

positional arguments:
  hostname              Use this API hostname (e.g. proxmox.example.com[:443])
  username              Use this API username (e.g. monitor@pve)
  only_vms              Limit results to these VMs

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -T TOP, --top TOP     Limit results to TOP VMs
  -t TIMEFRAME, --timeframe TIMEFRAME
                        Timeframe, can be one of: hour* | day | week | month |
                        year
  -g AGGREGATION, --aggregation AGGREGATION
                        RRD aggregation, can be one of: AVERAGE* | MAX
  --partial-match       Match VMs by substring instead of equality

Future

Possible future enhancements:

• Explain how server-side AGGREGATION affects the values (or perhaps remove the AVG/MAX subtypes and show only one, based on -g).

• Add alternate modes of output?

• Limit results to only one item (cpu, diskread, …)?
