System Health - Cpu, Load, IO Monitor
hello there,

can someone please tell me the commands that makes sense, from a production point of view, to be used to make sure CPU, LOAD or IO usages on a Linux or Solaris server isn't too high?

I'm aware of vmstat, iostat, sar. But i seriously need real world advice as to what fields in the output of these commands (or others if there are), that I need to look at and compute on.

Please advise.

thanks
