Performance logging

Post by alex.barylski »

A quick Google might turn up interesting results but I figured I'd ask here for a head start...

What are some good tools for logging/monitoring performance of a system. How can I tell what the hourly CPU usage is?

I basically want to keep track of how the whole system is running so I can determine whether a new server is in order or maybe just a CPU...

Is it best to track logs in each of the used daemons?

For instance, should I monitor Apache logs for determining the average page load time? How do I monitor CPU and Memory use?
