What’s the best way to monitor and log which processes are responsible for high system load throughout the day? Tools like top and htop only provide immediate values, but I’m looking for a solution that offers historical data to identify the main culprits over time.

@sysadmin

#sysadmin #linux #server

    I run this in a Docker container on my home network without connecting it to their cloud platform (despite their - increasingly strident, it feels - “encouragements” to do so). It’s very powerful, and the majority of low level configuration is done via text files. But 99% of it is automatic.

    The UI is unique. It’s a single, long and scrollable page, which may be an issue for some.

    There are other tools out there, too. I previously used one that integrates Grafana, Prometheus and Node Exporter, which is more complex to set up and configure.
