Join Shawn Powers as he teaches you how to identify and remediate CPU and memory-related problems on a Linux system.
Learn how to identify CPU information in the proc filesystem (procfs), how to adjust kernel memory settings, and how to create and activate a swapfile on a server with low memory. Gain an understanding of load average, sysstat tools, current memory usage, and the out-of-memory (OOM) killer.
This skill is part of a series that will prepare you for CompTIA's XK0-004 exam, the one exam that must be passed to receive the Linux+ certification.
