Hi all,
Three questions about system monitoring:
1. Is there a way to see how many open file descriptors are being used
by the system and how many is the system allowed to use ?
2. When you monitor the network with `netstat -a`, in the "(state)"
column there appear different status: "LISTEN", "ESTABLISHED",
"FIN_WAIT", "CLOSE_WAIT", and so on. Is there a place to look at the
meaning of these status?
3. How should be understand the info that we obtain from `vmstat`,
specifically: context switches, interrupts and page faults?. What should
we do when there is a high percentage of system CPU (from 60~70%) in use
?
Any advice is welcome. For sure, I'll summarize.
Thanks in advance
