I installed cgroup on my ubuntu (13.9.0) using this command:

apt-get install cgroup-bin

However, cgconfig.conf file has not been created in /etc and not anywhere else. Did I miss anything?

This configuration file can be created in 2 ways:

  1. Copied from /usr/share/doc/cgroup-bin/examples/cgconfig.conf and then appropriately edited
  2. Semi-automatically generated by using cgsnapshot

    It's worth to be noted that on debian systems, the cgsnapshot command expects an existing blacklist file, and it refuses to run unless it's available at /etc/cgsnapshot_blacklist.conf. At least these are my observations on Debian8/9. – Gergely Lukacsy Aug 07 '18 at 16:35

    sudo touch /etc/cgsnapshot_blacklist.conf seems to be enough to make Debian package happy to run cgsnapshot. – Mikko Rantalainen Mar 21 '23 at 08:41

    Ubuntu has the example files in /usr/share/doc/cgroup-tools/examples/cgconfig.conf because they renamed the package name in the past. – Mikko Rantalainen Mar 21 '23 at 08:44
