UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone,

My company is involved in performing performance testing and now they want to perform couple of training related with executing those tests on the servers based on Unix sytems.

And I have to provide them draft of the content for those trainings.

I think this kind of training should contain information about cpu usage, disc I/0, memory utilization, disc utilization, processes therefore it should contain description of application such as:
sar
top
vmstat
mpstat
free
iostat

If someone have any idea what else this kind of training should have?

Thank you in advance for answers

Hi thegeek.

Thakn you for the answer

For now I have something like this:

1. How to connect with linux server from our PC, how to put/get data, what tool used for it and so on (I think it is important because in almost all cases we have to connect from our PC with server that we will test)

2. Monitoring main resources
CPU Utilization
Interrupts
Context Switching
Memory
Paging
Swapping
Disk I/O
Network I/O

3. Collecting the Data

Is it enough for cover the topic executing test on server based on linux?
