Easy system monitoring with SAR
Learn how to correlate user complaints with the system activity reporter (SAR) and build a performance baseline for trending purposes using SAR logs. SAR is the perfect tool for systems administrators. It captures important system performance metrics at periodic intervals. 		Articles 28 Feb 2006  
 
Solve application problems with tracing
Peer into the behavior of an application with truss. When an application doesn't work as expected, you typically look at application and system logs as a first recourse. But when logs don't help, UNIX(R) provides a powerful set of tools that you can use to trace the application while it runs. Armed with these traces and a bit of knowledge about UNIX, you can easily solve your application problems. 		Articles 21 Mar 2006  
 
Expose Web performance problems with the RRDtool
Examine how to determine the root cause of Web performance problems. Without proper measurement, how do you know whether your Web application is performing well? By using open source tools such as the RRDtool, you can graph the key performance measurements of any Web application, use these graphs to determine the impact of changes in the environment, or point to changes that need addressing.

Advanced performance tuning concepts
The performance of even the best application suffers if the underlying host is not configured properly. This article looks at the four key areas of performance tuning and identifies what to watch for in each of them. In addition, Java-based applications bring other performance tuning requirements with them, especially the garbage collection cycle. This article also looks at what you need to know about garbage collection. 		Articles 28 Apr 2009  
 
Share application data with UNIX System V IPC mechanisms
The UNIX(R) operating system provides a rich set of features that allows processes to communicate with each other. Known as Inter-Process Communication (IPC), you can use this communication method to reconfigure an application at run time or to share data between different processes that are running in parallel. This article teaches you how to identify the methods that applications can use to communicate with each other, select the most appropriate method for your application, and begin your implementation.

Delve into UNIX process creation
Examine the life cycle of a process so that you can relate what you see happening on your system to what's going on within the kernel. System administrators must know how processes are created and destroyed within the UNIX(R) environment in order to understand how the system fits together and how to manage misbehaving processes. Similarly, developers must understand the UNIX processes model in order to write solid applications that run unattended and won't cause problems for system administrators. 		Articles 03 Jan 2007  
 
Performance tuning considerations in your application server environment
Understand how the various components of a Web application interact, and where you might find performance bottlenecks. Both developers and administrators will benefit from knowing this because performance is everyone's responsibility. 		Articles 27 Jan 2009
