Joe Zonker Brockmeier mentioned five tools to monitor and improve Linux system performance in an article on the Linux Foundation website.

These five tools cover Kernel optimization, network monitoring, and System monitoring. they are KDE System Monitor, Dstats, The Sysstat Auite, Ifstat network monitoring, and Linux Kernel optimization using Sysctl.

KDE System Monitor. Both KDE System monitoring and GNOME System monitoring are good. KDE System monitoring is better than remote system monitoring.

Dstats. Dstat is a tool used to replace vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat, and ifstat commands. it is an all-around System Information statistics tool. Compared with other tools, the tool has decent documentation and scalability. it is implemented through plug-ins.

SYSSTAT. SYSSTAT is a software package that includes a set of tools to monitor system performance and efficiency, such as sar, iostat, mpstat, and pidstat. These tools collect and analyze system performance data, such as CPU usage, hard disk, and network throughput data, which helps us determine whether the system is running normally, it is an effective assistant to improve system operation efficiency and secure operation of servers.

Ifstat. Ifstat is a network interface monitoring tool that monitors the I/O status and CPU status. You can define one or more network interfaces and add options to make the results easier to observe.

Sysctl. Sysctl is actually used to configure kernel parameters stored in/proc/sys /. The parameters of different kernel versions will change. how to configure them? to see if all the parameters are valid, run sysctl-a or sysctl-a | sort. Change one of the parameters and run sysctl-w key. value = "newvalue ". For more information, see Red Hat manual Linux Performance and Tuning Guidelines ,.
