Every computer system benefits from proper administration and monitoring. Keeping an eye on how your system is running will help you discover issues and resolve them quickly.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of command line utilities created for this purpose. This guide will introduce you to some of the most helpful applications to have in your toolbox.<\/p>\n
One of the most common tools for checking the resource utilization of processes is “top<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n Top provides a simple, real-time table of your processes, with the largest consumers on top:<\/p>\n The top portion has some system statistics, including load averages for the past minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes. It also shows memory and swap usage, and the count of various process states.<\/p>\n The bottom portion has every process on the system, organized by the top users of resources. This list is updated in real-time.<\/p>\n Although “top” is included in almost every distribution by default, an improved version, called “htop<\/strong>” is available for download from most repositories.<\/p>\n To install htop on Ubuntu, type the following:<\/p>\n Running htop, we can see that it has a similar output, but is colorized, and is more interactive:<\/p>\n The top portion is much easier to read and the bottom portion is organized in a more clear fashion.<\/p>\n Here are some keys that will help you use htop more effectively:<\/p>\n There are plenty of more options you that you can access through help or setup. These should be your first stops in exploring htop’s functionality.<\/p>\n If your network connection seems saturated and you are unsure which application is the culprit, a program called “nethogs<\/strong>” is a good choice for finding out.<\/p>\n On Ubuntu, you can install nethogs with the following command:<\/p>\n We can run it by simply typing:<\/p>\n As you can see, above all, nethogs output is simple. It associates each application with its associated network traffic.<\/p>\n There are only a few commands that you can use to control net hogs:<\/p>\n Although this is a simple tool, nethogs is a great way to associate traffic with a specific applications.<\/p>\n IPTraf<\/strong> is another great way to monitor network traffic. It provides a number of different interactive monitoring interfaces.<\/p>\n On Ubuntu, you can install IPTraf with the following command:<\/p>\n To run the program, simply call it from the command line with root privileges:<\/p>\n With this menu, you can select which interface you would like to access.<\/p>\n For example, to get an overview of all network traffic, we can select the first menu and then “All interfaces”. It will give you a screen that looks like this:<\/p>\n Here, you can see what IP addresses you are communicating on all of your network interfaces.<\/p>\n If you would like to have those IP addresses resolved into domains, you can enable reverse DNS lookup by exiting the traffic screen, selecting “Configure” and then selecting “Reverse DNS lookups<\/em>“.<\/p>\n You can also enable “TCP\/UDP service names<\/em>” to display using the names of the services instead of the port.<\/p>\n With both of these options enabled, the display may look like this:<\/p>\n There are several other interfaces to investigate on your own.<\/p>\n The “netstat<\/strong>” command is a versatile tool for gathering network information. It is extremely flexible and powerful.<\/p>\n By default, netstat prints a list of open sockets:<\/p>\n If we add an “-a” option, it will list all ports, listening and non-listening:<\/p>\n If you’d like to filter to see only TCP or UDP connections, use the “-t” or “-u” flags respectively:<\/p>\n See statistics by passing the “-s” flag:<\/p>\n If you would like to continuously update the output, you can use the “-c” flag.<\/p>\n There are many other options that can change the output. Explore the man pages for more ideas.<\/p>\n For a quick overview of how much disk space you have left on your drives, you can use the “df<\/strong>” program.<\/p>\n Without any options, its output looks like this:<\/p>\n This outputs disk usage in bytes, which may be a bit hard to read.<\/p>\n To fix this problem, we can specify to output in a human-readable format:<\/p>\n If we want to see the total disk space available on all filesystems, we can pass the “–total” option. This will add a row at the bottom with summary information:<\/p>\n While df is an easy way of geting an overview, “du<\/strong>” gives a better picture of what is taking up space on your system.<\/p>\n The command will analyze usage for the current directory and any subdirectories. The default output of du looks like this:<\/p>\n Once again, we can specify human-readable output by passing it “-h”:<\/p>\n To see file sizes as well as directories, type the following:<\/p>\n For a total at the bottom, you can add the “-c” option:<\/p>\n If you are only interested in the total and not the specifics, you can issue:<\/p>\n These two tools have improved versions that can be installed on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n An improved version of df is “pydf<\/strong>“. It can be installed with this command:<\/p>\n The pydf command organizes everything in neat charts with colorized output. It shows disk usage graphically with usage bars:<\/p>\n An improvement on du is “ncdu<\/strong>“. This command can be installed by typing:<\/p>\n This command uses an interactive ncurses display to graphically represent your disk usage:<\/p>\n You can step through the filesystem by using the up and down arrows and pressing “enter” on any directory entry.<\/p>\n The easiest way of finding out the current memory usage on your system is using the “free<\/strong>” command.<\/p>\n When used without options, the output looks like this:<\/p>\n To display in a more readable format, we can pass the “-m” option to display the output in megabytes:<\/p>\n The middle line, marked “-\/+ buffers\/cache”, will show the actual memory used by applications.<\/p>\n The “Mem” line includes the memory used for buffering and caching, which is freed up as soon as needed for other purposes.<\/p>\n The “vmstat<\/strong>” command can output various information about your system, including memory, swap, disk io, and cpu information.<\/p>\n We will use the command to get another view into memory usage:<\/p>\n We can see this in megabytes by choosing our unit with the “-S” flag:<\/p>\n As you can see, this tool helps us break down the “-\/+ buffers\/cache” category of the “free” command.<\/p>\n We get to see how much of that block is used for buffering and how much for cache.<\/p>\n To get some general statistics about memory usage, type:<\/p>\n To get information about individual system processes’ cache usage, type:<\/p>\n This will give you details about what kind of information is stored in the cache.<\/p>\n Using these tools, you should begin to be able to monitor your server from the command line. There are many other utilities that perform simple monitoring operations, but these are a good starting point.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ubuntu ile command line shell den cpu dik ve sistem performanslar\u0131n\u0131 kontrol etmek ?
