Introduction
Nothing happens without a trace. On a Linux system, we can trace events via the log files discussed in Chapter 9, Put On The Monitor's Cap. The top command shows which programs use the most CPU time, and watch, df, and du let us monitor disk usage.
This chapter will describe ways to get more information about network packets, CPU usage, disk usage, and dynamic library calls.
