I know there are Linux performance measurement tools out there, some free, some at a cost.
But a more basic item. Just what needs to be meaured? We may be increasing our Linux workload greatly. We have been using Linux (Suse) for about 3 years now. So far, I've been satisified with what I get from VMSTAT and TOP. Of course, we haven't had many problems and when we have had problems, they were not tramatic. Now, we may be moving to mission critical. The real work is going to be done in Oracle and some in Websphere. It seems to me that once you set them up properly in z/Linux, the monitoring and measurement must be done within those applications. So, what do I need to know in the Linux machine when 98+% of the work within that machine is caused by a single "big" application (Oracle or Websphere)?
