Abstract
Another common task you’ll find yourself wanting to do while maintaining a Linux system is monitoring things like system processes, memory, and network use. This helps you to gauge how much of your capacity you’re making use of. Knowing what resources might be running low gives you insights into how the system load might be reduced or where resources should be increased. In this chapter, we’ll look at tools for doing different types of monitoring.
