Middleware was the fourth hottest ability to get employed in 2017and there’s no purpose to go down for years to come back.
In the event you’ve just lately began engaged on WebSphere or some other Middleware product suite, one of many very first issues it’s best to familiarize your self with is the widespread Linux instructions.
On this article, I’ll discuss a number of the generally used Linux instructions by WebSphere or Middleware directors each day.
Discover SystemOut.log
If you’re working within the present atmosphere and an administrator has redirected SystemOut.log to a different location, it may be difficult to search out it.
#discover / -name SystemOut.log
Ideas: when you have a number of file programs, it might take some time to go looking. So the most effective factor can be to exchange / with the precise file system you assume the log file would reside in. For example you assume log is within the /choose file system so you are able to do this.
#discover /choose –identify SystemOut.log
Know which course of incorporates a particular port quantity
You usually face port conflicts, particularly within the shared atmosphere.
If there’s a state of affairs to search out out which course of incorporates the port quantity, you possibly can know as follows.
#netstat –anlp | grep 443
Ex
[root@Chandan ~]# netstat -anlp | grep 443 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20924/nginx [root@Chandan ~]#
Comment: The instance above reveals nginx with PID 20924 Maintain tight 443 port.
Server startup time
In the event you run into auto-boot points and need to know when the server rebooted, you should utilize this command.
#who –b
[root@Chandan ~]# who -b system boot Jun 28 01:11 [root@Chandan ~]#
who -b command provides you the precise date and time of the server reboot.
variousyou can too use time to verify how lengthy the server has been operating.
[root@Chandan ~]# uptime 01:20:27 up 14 days, 9 min, 1 person, load common: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [root@Chandan ~]#
Monitor CPU/Reminiscence utilization at runtime
If you’re experiencing a efficiency concern, you could need to know the present CPU/Reminiscence utilization.
This can aid you discover out in actual time which course of is taking over loads of CPU/reminiscence.
#high high - 01:16:21 up 14 days, 5 min, 1 person, load common: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Duties: 70 whole, 1 operating, 69 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0percentus, 0.0percentsy, 0.0percentni, 99.7percentid, 0.0percentwa, 0.0percenthi, 0.3percentsi, 0.0percentst Mem: 502220k whole, 454920k used, 47300k free, 143476k buffers Swap: 0k whole, 0k used, 0k free, 245412k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 29121 root 20 0 15008 1260 992 R 0.3 0.3 0:00.02 high 1 root 20 0 19232 1136 860 S 0.0 0.2 0:25.18 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 4 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:01.21 ksoftirqd/0
Ideas: search for the CPU/Reminiscence part for the primary few PIDs to search out out the utilization.
variousyou can too use the free command to search out out the overall and free reminiscence.
#free –m
[root@Chandan ~]# free -m whole used free shared buffers cached Mem: 490 444 46 0 140 239 -/+ buffers/cache: 64 425 Swap: 0 0 0 [root@Chandan ~]#
As you possibly can see above, there’s a whole of 490 MB of reminiscence and solely 46 MB of reminiscence is offered.
There may be one other command referred to as SAR (System Exercise Report) which can also be very helpful to search out the CPU and Reminiscence stats.
To observe CPU utilization
#sar
To verify the reminiscence utilization
sar -r
Kill the method
Typically the method does not cease cleanly when it hangs or stops working. On this situation, you possibly can terminate the method manually.
#kill PID
If the above does not assist, you should utilize -9 to forcibly terminate the method.
#kill -9 PID
Comment: PID is your course of ID
Compression and extraction
More often than not, you can be coping with compressing the information as a file system housekeeping exercise.
Compression
gzip command can be utilized to compress the information.
#gzip filename
Ideas: If you wish to compress a number of information, you should utilize gzip * which compresses all obtainable information in that workbook.
Extraction
gunzip command will aid you extract the gz file.
#gunzip filename
Ideas: you should utilize gunzip * which you’ll be able to extract all gz information in that workbook.
Complete CPU, Reminiscence, File System
Usually requested to offer server info, in case you are doing migration or capability planning.
Right here is the short command that can assist you discover out the overall CPU, reminiscence and file system particulars.
CPU info
Discover out CPU cores, MHz, CPU producer, mannequin identify and far more utilizing
#cat /proc/cpuinfo
Ideas: when you have a high-end server, the output of the above command shall be lengthy. So you should utilize grep to filter out the required info. For instance, to find cores, you should utilize it
#cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
Reminiscence info
To seek out out the overall obtainable reminiscence, you should utilize one of many following instructions.
First….
#free –G
This can present you the overall, free and cache reminiscence
Second…
#cat /proc/meminfo
This can present you far more info together with the overall reminiscence.
File system info
To seek out out the file system dimension and utilization, you should utilize df instructions.
#df –h
[root@Chandan tmp]# df -h Filesystem Measurement Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 20G 1.6G 18G 9% / tmpfs 246M 0 246M 0% /dev/shm [root@Chandan tmp]#
Included -H provides you output in GB that’s simple to grasp.
View IP, Subnet masks, MAC tackle and errors
In all probability one of the generally used instructions to search out out IP associated info.
[root@Chandan tmp]# ifconfig eth0 Hyperlink encap:Ethernet HWaddr 04:01:5A:25:57:01 inet addr:128.199.100.162 Bcast:128.199.127.255 Masks:255.255.192.0 inet6 addr: fe80::601:5aff:fe25:5701/64 Scope:Hyperlink UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1491330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 body:0 TX packets:1636419 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 provider:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:306418374 (292.2 MiB) TX bytes:274350737 (261.6 MiB) [root@Chandan tmp]#
As you possibly can see above, ifconfig reveals the IP addresses, Ethernet particulars, a {hardware} tackle (MAC), subnet masks, errors, and different info. That is an especially helpful, useful command in case you are on the lookout for this info.
Ideas: you should utilize –a with ifconfig to listing all obtainable Ethernet particulars. Ex:
#ifconfig –a
Community instructions comparable to wget, telnet, traceroute
If you’re troubleshooting software connectivity points, you’ll almost definitely want to make use of these community instructions.
Examine if you happen to can entry a specific URL from a server
You possibly can rapidly verify if there’s a connection downside in your server through the use of the wget command. For instance: if you wish to verify whether or not the server can entry an exterior web site like https://geekflare.com or not, you should utilize beneath.
[root@Chandan tmp]# wget geekflare.com --2015-07-12 02:52:56-- https://geekflare.com/ Resolving geekflare.com... 104.28.23.60, 104.28.22.60 Connecting to geekflare.com|104.28.23.60|:80... related. HTTP request despatched, awaiting response... 200 OK Size: unspecified [text/html] Saving to: `index.html' [ <=> ] 65,435 --.-Ok/s in 0.005s 2015-07-12 02:52:56 (13.4 MB/s) - `index.html' saved [65435] [root@Chandan tmp]#
Ideas: above you possibly can see the HTTP response code is 200 which implies there is no such thing as a downside with the connectivity.
Confirm that the server can connect with the backend service with the precise port quantity
If you’re connecting to a different software, comparable to an online service, and must confirm you could attain it, you should utilize the telnet command. That is very helpful for a connectivity take a look at.
Within the instance beneath, I’ve checked whether or not geekflare.com on port 443 is reachable or not.
[root@Chandan tmp]# telnet geekflare.com 443 Attempting 104.28.23.60... Related to geekflare.com. Escape character is '^]'.
Whenever you see it “Related‘, then that confirms there’s nothing unsuitable with connectivity/firewall. Nonetheless, if you happen to see that the connection failed, you realize that one thing like a firewall is obstructing your connection.
Hint connection particulars
This will not be used on a regular basis, however is extraordinarily helpful when you have a latency concern or simply need to know the connection path between your server and the vacation spot.
The instance beneath reveals the community path from my server to geekflare.com
[root@Chandan tmp]# traceroute geekflare.com traceroute to geekflare.com (104.28.23.60), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 128.199.127.253 (128.199.127.253) 5.110 ms 5.061 ms 128.199.127.254 (128.199.127.254) 0.418 ms 2 103.253.144.237 (103.253.144.237) 5.153 ms 0.463 ms 103.253.144.241 (103.253.144.241) 8.009 ms 3 as13335.singapore.megaport.com (103.41.12.6) 4.822 ms 13335.sgw.equinix.com (202.79.197.132) 4.819 ms as13335.singapore.megaport.com (103.41.12.6) 4.490 ms 4 104.28.23.60 (104.28.23.60) 4.454 ms 4.427 ms 4.366 ms [root@Chandan tmp]#
Possession change
In the event you’re coping with a number of customers on a server and still have root privileges, you then’ll almost definitely mess with permissions/possession every so often. Don’t be concerned, it is a part of studying.
This is the short technique to change possession or permission.
Change proprietor
To alter possession of a specific file, you should utilize the chown command as beneath.
#chown person:group error.log
Ideas: above, the possession of error.log will change to the named person and group. When you have a folder, you should utilize it –R, which can recursively change to all information within the listing. Ex:-
#chown –R person:group somefolder
