Recently we encountered with one of the beautiful tool we could get for monitoring Linux’s real time parameters such as CPU usage, RAM usage etc.
This tool monitors following parameters,
- CPU usage, interrupts, softirqs and frequency (total and per core)
- RAM, swap and kernel memory usage (including KSM and kernel memory deduper)
- Disks (per disk: I/O, operations, backlog, utilization, etc)
- IPv4 networking , IPv6 networking
and many other parameters, you can check the github documentation for list of more parameters.
Follow, below procedure to install this on your ubuntu PC,
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkg-config cmake libtool uuid-dev libelf-dev git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git --depth=1 cd netdata sudo ./netdata-installer.sh This will compile and install netdata tool onto your PC, and also start on localhost.
Now, Type http://localhost:19999/ from your browser.
To stop netdata, just kill it, with: killall netdata
To start it, just run it: /usr/sbin/netdata
Enjoy!
This is how the User Interface Looks like,
