“System monitoring can also help identify problems
before they escalate to emergency status. This type of software is
not only useful for network administrators. Home users with a small
network or even just a single computer will benefit from advanced
notification provided by system monitoring tools. Knowing that free
space on the hard disk is running out, or that a particular
server/daemon has gone down can be extremely useful.“These types of systems gather data relating to CPU, memory,
network, disk utilization, response time of network services, and
much more.“To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 9 Linux system monitoring
tools. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here for
anyone who wants to monitor a specific service or situation. “
