Hey everyone! I am back with another Linux article!😊
Today I will be going over basic commands you can use to monitor system performance! 📈📉💻
1. top 💻
The 'top' command is used to display active processes and how much they are using system resources.
2. lsof 💻
lsof stands for list of open files- basically shows you list of files and the processes
3. tcpdump 💻
'tcpdump' is used to analyze network traffic
4. htop 💻
'htop' is a lot like top - It's just allows you to monitor system resources or processes. As you can see, it's a bit more fancy than top
5. iostat 💻
'iostat' is a command that is used to monitor input/output devices, by telling you how long the devices have been active.
6. ps 💻
Displays the processes
7. uptime 💻
Tells you how long the system has been up
8. free 💻
'free' shows you the amount of available memory you have.
9. pidstat 💻
Used to monitor individual tasks. Great for troubleshooting issues.
10. w 💻
'w' tells you information about users logged on and their processes
That's it! Thank you for reading today's article🥳
These commands can be vital for you to monitor your system, so I will be releasing a part 2 soon, as well!😆
