System Monitoring Commands 📈💻

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!😆
