ATOP is my favorite Linux tool

I’m diagnosing a load problem with a server, and ATOP has helped me a lot.

For Ubuntu – ‘apt-get install atop’ works fine.

Here is the ATOP home page

    my problem with atop is that the need to patch the kernel. that might be ok for dev environment but is bad juju for production.

    Atop runs perfectly without the kernel patch. You only need the kernel patch for additional info about disk and network traffic per process.

    I love seeing the disk info! Particularly on my fast growing database server.

    SoftLayer Ubuntu 8 images have the Disk patch installed.
