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
