What tools are available to record/log Linux activity at the process
level?
 
Scenario:  
1. LinuxA normally uses a steady ~30% cpu.
2. At 10:30am, it was noticed that LinuxA's cpu pegged 100% and memory
consumption increased to the point of heavy swapping
3. At 11:10am, LinuxA's cpu went back to ~30% and memory utilization
returned to normal.
4. It is now 3:00pm. How can I go back in time to find the culprit
application/process for the 40 minutes of hiatus?
 
In zVM, I have the performance toolkit and MONWRITE data.
In zOS, I have RMF.
 
Does Linux have a comparable tool?
 
Thanks,
Kevin
