I have a local network in which I start each node with both the --metrics flag and the debug api enabled. So I can attach a console and retrieve the metrics by running, for instance
geth attach --exec "debug.metrics(false)" http://127.0.0.1:8545
and it works like a charm.
In the documentation it is stated, that one can use geth monitor to have a real-time view of the metrics graphics. Therefore I tried to follow the documentation with this command:
geth monitor --attach http://127.0.0.1:8545 "system/memory/allocs"
But I get unfortunately incomprehensible results as proved by this screenshot:
I think that this is probably due to the encoding used by the graphics. Therefore I tried with the majority of the encoding provided by my shell (KDE Konsole) but the result, remain always incomprehensible. (The Picture show the result with UTF-8).
Do one of you had the same problem, which is the right encoding to show the graph as in the documentation?
Additional Info:
geth version 1.8.8-stable
go version go1.10.2
os Linux 4.9
shell kde-konsole
UPDATE I did try with Ubuntu and it works fine. Is it possible that I miss some packages?
