the second your video starts, i recognized your expertise. a bloke that looks like the protoype admin i alway wanted to become on a linux related topic. can anyone ask for more? thumbs up dude, keep up the good work.
Thanks very much for sharing this video! I didn't know about the tools to monitorthe GPUs. It was a good review of tools, some of which I'd forgotten about. Very good, clear explanations. Well done!
Byobu for Tmux :) All top tools are nice. atop, btop, htop, iftop, nvtop and so forth. You nailed them all i would say. As sysadmin myself its a must to have tools and more importantly know how to read them. Its so cruical to be able to tell what holds up a system or a service and why. Good video as always!
Excellent info. I found a lot of them useful, and many I hadn't heard of before. I found out that dstat is no longer maintained, so I use dool instead.
Thanks for the dool info. Often these tools are abandoned then restarted with a new name. I'm glad open source makes this possible, but makes it a bit harder to keep track of.
I would suggest sar, lsof, tcpdump, nmap, granted the last two are more on the networking realm of trouble shooting. Lsof is so under rated in it's usage, as I rarely see others use it. I think knowing about strace is good as well.
I debated including tools like those, but I thought I had enough video with performance tools. Thanks for the ideas as I'll like make one in the future with troubleshooting tools.
From my memory, Tmux has more features than screen and I've been using it ever since I found out about it. I think Screen has many comparable features but haven't looked at it closely recently.
Hey man, coming from a ddrescue video of yours and had a question. I found that my external WD hard drive was corrupted after my computer crashed whilst opening some files on it, would your video "How to use Ddrescue to get data from a failing drive" from 7 years ago do the trick or at least help me recover some files? I am new to this process and wasn't sure if I was looking in the right direction. Do you perhaps have another video explaining this process for this specific reason? Any sort of help would be really appreciated.
Have you tried netdata (agent). Previous versions (up to 1.3x) were awsome.. the new ones (1.4x) are kinda useful, but I heard the next gen (2.x) will be a bit limited due to licensing... You can even configure additional resources to monitor over time like httpd logs, chrony stuff,
I haven't tried netdata. Is it designed to pull data in for central logging? I have used simmilr tools like grafana+influxdb and want to do that more in the future.
I wondered if you did paid consulting. I plan to redo our server setup with proxmox etc but have some doubts. I checked but couldn't find any contact information. in case please let me know. ciao from Italy
You've made my linux life better.

i LEARNED A LOT, Thanks Brandon.

Very useful; some of the tools I knew about, but there were a few in there that I'm going to add to repertoire. Thanks you've made me a better sysop
never heard of btop before, I just installed it and it looks amazing. thanks
glances is dope, it has a home assistant integration too
I like using btop for everything. I use btop with the GPU feature compiled so it does show GPU parameters too. One tool to see it all.
Great stuff, boss! Love your videos, they be on point and even helped me out with some proxmox issue I've had.
For network monitoring I like "iftop" tool.
Thats a great tool I missed, I like how shows usage per program with a graph.
it's almost the same as jnettop, which is better? I usually use nmon for network since I usually need not much info.. lol
@@gg-gn3re jnettop is actually pretty nice.
Great video as usual. Thank You
Very useful thanks.
This was helpful, thank you!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Thanks for some additions to my tool collection. I'd like to suggest replacing ping with its graphical counterpart gping.

@@ElectronicsWizardry Keep up the good work, always interesting to see what you post.
How would you compare tmux to screen?
From my memory, Tmux has more features than screen and I've been using it ever since I found out about it. I think Screen has many comparable features but haven't looked at it closely recently.

I have done a bit of consulting in the past. I think I have some contact info on my about page, otherwise my email is electronicswizardry@gmail.com.
