There might be some way to develop something like that if you really had
to, but finding the problem VM with xl top/xentop then drilling into it
to see process details is the "standard" way...

Im pretty new to qubes os, so if anyone has some ideas on other cli 
utilites on the qubes terminal, or any other suggestions, Id be happy 
to entertain them.  I recently built this system to be a linux 
machine.  After using second-hand laptops, computers found in the 
trash can, and random computer parts to see just how crappy a system 
will run linux lite, i decided to actually build a system from 
scratch.  I also bought a Pi4 kit, and running everything thru an HDMI 
selector into my tv that i use as a monitor.  so thanks to anyone who 
has an idea!

I have no idea if that is possible.  But since you asked for any ideas, 
I too sometimes have an app in a VM that is taking all the resources 
that I'd like to kill (typically a browser), and I've found it useful to 
run a console from dom0 into that VM using virsh.  I start a console 
into each likely VM that might have an issue.


from dom0:

virsh --quiet -c xen:/// console VM

In the console I login, and run top.  I have better success killing a 
runaway app this way then with gnome-terminal running in the VM.  I move 
those consoles to another virtual desktop to keep them out of the way, 
but available if needed.
