Where Does amdgpu_top Store Config and Dumps?
amdgpu_top config and dumps on Linux, GUI state plus JSON output files.
Last updated
amdgpu_top shows AMD GPU load, clocks and power with optional JSON dumps. GUI preferences stay light. The durable artifacts are the dump files you direct it to write.
There is no rich config to migrate. Point dumps at a logs folder and rotate them. Keep the invocation in a script for repeatable captures.
Where amdgpu_top stores this, by platform
~/.config/amdgpu_top/config.json
Direct JSON snapshots here with dump flags. GUI state stays minimal. Keep dump scripts versioned for repeatable logging.
Frequently asked questions
How do I log amdgpu_top stats?
Pass --dump-interval and --json to write periodic JSON snapshots. Point output at a dated file. The GUI itself keeps little persistent state.
Why are amdgpu_top sensors missing?
Check kernel amdgpu support and permissions on the card nodes. Missing sensors usually mean firmware gaps. Config guesses never fix absent drivers.
