Linux Performance Monitoring with Vmstat and Iostat Commands
================================================================================
This is our on-going series of commands and performance monitoring in **Linux**. **Vmstat** and **Iostat** both commands are available on all major **Unix-like (Linux/Unix/FreeBSD/Solaris)** Operating Systems.
If **vmstat** and **iostat** commands are not available on your box, please install **sysstat** package. The **vmstat**, **sar** and **iostat** commands are the collection of package included in **sysstat** the system monitoring tools. The iostat generates reports of **CPU** & all device statistics. You may download and install **sysstat** using source tarball from link [sysstat][1], but we recommend installing through **YUM** command.

Linux Performance Monitoring with Vmstat and Iostat
### Install Sysstat in Linux ###
# yum -y install sysstat
- **vmstat** Summary information of Memory, Processes, Paging etc.
- **iostat** Central Processing Unit (CPU) statistics and input/output statistics for devices and partitions.
### 6 Vmstat Command Examples in Linux ###
#### 1. List Active and Inactive Memory ####
In the below example, there are six columns. The significant of the columns are explained in man page of **vmstat** in details. Most important fields are **free** under memory and **si**, **so** under swap column.
[root@tecmint ~]# vmstat -a
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu-----
r b swpd free inact active si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
1 0 0 810420 97380 70628 0 0 115 4 89 79 1 6 90 3 0
- **Free** Amount of free/idle memory spaces.
- **si** Swaped in every second from disk in Kilo Bytes.
- **so** Swaped out every second to disk in Kilo Bytes.
**Note**: If you run **vmstat** without parameters itll displays summary report since system boot.
#### 2. Execute vmstat X seconds and (Nnumber of times) ####
With this command, **vmstat** execute every two seconds and stop automatically after executing six intervals.
[root@tecmint ~]# vmstat 2 6
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu-----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st
