Oooh, Oooh, I know that one...

Take a look at ESALPS.  Particularly for Linux on System z it can
monitor and record the activity of all of the virtual machines (yes, at
the process level) in one place.

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
