However, users +might want to limit the monitoring region to specific address ranges, such as +the heap, the stack, or specific file-mapped area. Or, some users might know +the initial access pattern of their workloads and therefore want to set optimal +initial regions for the 'adaptive regions adjustment'. + +In such cases, users can explicitly set the initial monitoring target regions +as they want, by writing proper values to the ``init_regions`` file. Each line +of the input should represent one region in below form.:: + + + +The ``pid`` should be already in ``pids`` file, and the regions should be +passed in address order. For example, below commands will set a couple of +address ranges, ``1-100`` and ``100-200`` as the initial monitoring target +region of process 42, and another couple of address ranges, ``20-40`` and +``50-100`` as that of process 4242.:: + + # cd /damon + # echo "42 1 100 + 42 100 200 + 4242 20 40 + 4242 50 100" > init_regions + +Note that this sets the initial monitoring target regions only. DAMON will +automatically updates the boundary of the regions after one ``regions update +interval``. Therefore, users should set the ``regions update interval`` large +enough. + + Record ------
