Unlike most of the other monitoring tools, collectl does not focus in a limited number of system metrics, instead it can gather information on many different types of system resources such as cpu, disk, memory, network, sockets, tcp, inodes, infiniband, lustre, memory, nfs, processes, quadrics, slabs and buddyinfo.<\/p>\n<p>A very good thing about using\u00a0<strong>collectl<\/strong>\u00a0is that it can also play the role of utilities that are designed with only a specific purpose such as top, ps,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\">iotop<\/a>\u00a0and many others. What are some features that make\u00a0<strong>colleclt<\/strong>\u00a0a useful tool?<\/p>\n<p>After doing a lot of research I have compiled a list with some of the most important features of the collectl command-line utility for you guys.<\/p>\n<h4>Collectl Features<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>It can run interactively, as a daemon or both.<\/li>\n<li>It can display the output in many formats.<\/li>\n<li>It has the ability to monitor almost any subsystem.<\/li>\n<li>It can play the role of many other utilities such as ps, top, iotop, vmstat.<\/li>\n<li>It has the ability to record and playback the captured data.<\/li>\n<li>It can export the data in various file formats. (this is very useful when you want to analyse the data with external tools).<\/li>\n<li>It can run as a service to monitor remote machines or an entire server cluster.<\/li>\n<li>It can display the data in the terminal, write to a file or a socket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How to Install collectl in Linux<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>collectl<\/strong>\u00a0utility runs on all Linux distributions, the only thing it requires to run is perl, so make sure that you have\u00a0<strong>Perl<\/strong>\u00a0installed in your machine before installing collectl in your machine.<\/p>\n<h5>On Debian\/Ubuntu\/Linux Mint<\/h5>\n<p>The following command can be used to install the collectl utility in Debian based machines such as Ubuntu.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo apt-get install collectl<\/pre>\n<h5>On RHEL\/CentOS\/Fedora<\/h5>\n<p>If you are using Red Hat based distro, you can easily grab it from the repos with the yum command.<\/p>\n<pre># yum install collectl<\/pre>\n<h3>Some Practical Examples Of The collectl Utility<\/h3>\n<p>Once the installation of the collectl tool is finished, you can easily run it from the terminal, even without any option.
