So, which Linux CLIs would you use to isolate a performance problem?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Since I have never been a Linux SysAdmin responsible for isolating performance problems, I did not know. I described how I would do it in Windows, but the interviewer seemed unimpressed.

They're looking for tools such as iostat, netstat, and top. Those are CLI tools which can show what's happening on a server. There are also MongoDB command line tools such as mongostat and mongotop, although those are Mongo tools, not Linux tools.
