Linux Performance Monitoring Tool
Proactively monitor Linux applications and servers and troubleshoot performance issues faster
Monitor Linux application health and availability
SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) offers out-of-the-box templates to monitor the performance of 200+ enterprise applications. Automatically discover Linux servers and applications, apply built-in templates, and typically start monitoring in about an hour.
Server & Application Monitor lets you monitor databases and web servers, email servers, application servers, messaging servers, and more via a host of protocols, including SNMP, JMX, WMI, and CIM. You can extend monitoring to any custom or homegrown application by customizing existing out-of-the-box templates or building new ones.
Help ensure Linux servers run at peak performance
The Linux server monitoring tools in SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor allow you to monitor, alert, and report on performance issues in your Linux servers.
- Easily detect if the Linux server is experiencing high response time, latency, or packet loss
- Monitor server processes in real time, identify rogue and runaway processes hogging system resources, and remotely terminate them at the click of a button
Server & Application Monitor supports many Linux distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux monitoring, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu Server, Debian, Fedora, and more.
Monitor server resources and hardware health
Linux monitoring tools in SAM allow you to monitor resource utilization on your Linux servers. Receive alerts about CPU overloads, insufficient RAM, and storage issues, such as disks running out of capacity. SAM helps keep you prepared with capacity forecasts and more.
Monitor the health of hardware components in your Linux server, including temperature, CMC, fan speed, power supply, blade chassis, and more. Receive alerts when server hardware components are in warning or critical states and reduce server downtime due to hardware failure.
Isolate issues in the virtualized and cloud environments
No matter where your Linux applications are running, on a physical or virtual server, on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid environment, Server & Application Monitor’s Linux server monitoring tool helps you isolate the root cause in minutes. Built-in virtualization monitoring helps you identify whether there are resource contention issues at the host or virtual machine. Choose between agent-based and agentless monitoring.
Note: Server & Application Monitor installs on a Windows server, but it can monitor heterogeneous environments running on Linux and Windows.
Get More on Linux Performance Monitoring
Do you find yourself asking…
Linux performance monitoring is the process of keeping track of key performance metrics to help you understand and stay on top of your Linux operating system. It helps you both ensure and further optimize the availability and performance of your OS environment—two critical factors for maintaining the systems that keep your organization running. By keeping an eye on those essential metrics as you monitor Linux performance, you are better equipped to proactively prevent problems from occurring. When problems occur, Linux performance monitoring makes it easier to locate what’s causing the problem thanks to your collected performance data, which makes it easier to pinpoint and troubleshoot the root cause of the problem. This focus on key metrics is part of achieving true observability.
Whether you’re looking to monitor remote Linux or on-premises Linux, the metrics central to the performance monitoring process are:
- CPU utilization: Keeping an eye on CPU usage metrics makes it easier to manage and allocate CPU resources to avoid overutilization that leads to performance bottlenecks.
- Memory utilization: This metric helps you keep track of the load on your Linux server, so you can ensure you don’t run out of swap or physical memory.
- System load: Keep track of your Linux server’s computational work with metrics on system monitoring load. Sometimes workloads need to be moved to prevent slowdowns. System load metrics can help you stay ahead of this. Other critical metrics include disk I/O and network bandwidth.
When it comes to Linux performance monitoring, the best way to stay on top of these metrics and make the most of the Linux process is to use a performance monitoring solution like SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM).
