Hi,

I have around 6 processes running on CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core). Is there a way to find out which process is taking resources like memory, CPU, I/O and network.

Process 1 : How much memory, CPU, I/O and network is currently consuming on linux server Process 2 : How much memory, CPU, I/O and network is currently consuming on linux server Process 3 : How much memory, CPU, I/O and network is currently consuming on linux server and so on and so forth.

Thanks in Advance and i look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

  • From the command line there is always top(1). If you want a GUI then System Tools > System Moinitor and click on “Processes”. All the columns are sortable.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for the email. I will be interested in command line interface tool/utility. Is there a way to find out the previous occurrence of resource utilization? For example, there was a high load on the Linux server which occurred three days back during the time of 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM
    meaning historical data.

    Thanks in Advance and i look forward to hearing from you.

  • sa logs aren’t usually too big, but the process logs can get pretty large. sa logs are usually processed overnight to sar reports which are a good starting point (see /var/log/sa). If you are running an audit trail that may give you additional information, as would monitoring tools such as Ganglia.
