- To know disk/cpu/network status, use `iostat`, `netstat`, `top` (or the better `htop`), and (especially) `dstat`. Good for getting a quick idea of what's happening on a system. - To know current disk/cpu/network status, the classic tools are `iostat`, `netstat`, and `top` (or the better `htop`). Use `iostat -mxz 15` for basic CPU and detailed per-partition disk stats and performance insight.
- For a more in-depth system overview, use [`glances`](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances). It presents you with several system level statistics in one terminal window. Very helpful for quickly checking on various subsystems. - For a quick overview of what's happening on a system, `dstat` is especially useful.

- To know memory status, run and understand the output of `free` and `vmstat`. In particular, be aware the "cached" value is memory held by the Linux kernel as file cache, so effectively counts toward the "free" value. - To know memory status, run and understand the output of `free` and `vmstat`.
