Linux Performance Tuning And Analysis
Course Description
Overview
This Linux Performance Tuning and Analysis course is designed to provide advanced Linux Systems Administrators an expanded knowledge of the core workings of Linux. Theories and methodologies are covered for tuning, monitoring performance, and analyzing the performance of the Linux operating system.Objectives
- Learn principles and methods of system tuning
- Understand Linux architecture
- Use system and networking benchmark tools for understanding system capabilities
- Diagnose complex performance and functional system problems
- Learn to profile system hardware and applications
- Analyze system performance to identify patterns
- Learn methods of remote system monitoring
Prerequisites
- An intermediate knowledge of the Linux operating system is required. The equivalent knowledge can be found in the GL120 'Linux Fundamentals' and GL250 'Enterprise Linux Systems Administration' courses.
