  • Degraded performance because memory is drained by one major parent process.
  • CPU is over utilized.
  • Hard disk is filling up with large files.
TasksTo use the serv_mon.sh script (attached to this article), perform the steps below.
  1. Copy the serv_mon.sh file to your server machine using scp.
  2. Login to the appliance as the root user, make the script executable, and execute the script as shown below..
chmod +x serv_mon.sh
./serv_mon.sh

NOTE:  This script must be executed as the root user and Python 2.x or later must be installed on the appliance.
NotesThis script prints a human readable table with the collective memory utilization for each parent process separately, and performs the following:
  • It shows info about CPU, CPU utilization.
  • It shows disk space usage for each partition, the largest 10 files on the system.
  • It collects /proc/meminfo.
  • It collects the output of the vmstat command.
  • It watches free –m according to a user specified time interval.
