Why Things Do Not Work
This document explores effective information gathering techniques for troubleshooting, demonstrates systematic problem isolation through elimination, and illustrates server performance diagnosis using Linux tools. It emphasizes asking critical questions and avoiding assumptions when diagnosing issues.
Network Saturation
This document explores network performance issues through latency and bandwidth concepts, covering how physical distance and connection capacity affect data transmission. It examines traffic prioritization using traffic shaping, connection limits, and diagnostic tools like iftop for identifying bandwidth consumption patterns across network services.
Managing Disk Space
This document addresses disk space management challenges in IT systems covering common causes of disk exhaustion from logs to temporary files. It explores diagnostic techniques for identifying space usage patterns, handling deleted but open files, and implementing preventive strategies to avoid disk-related performance degradation and data loss.
How to Prevent Memory Leaks
This document examines memory leaks in applications, covering how unreleased memory chunks cause system performance issues. It explores memory management in C/C++ versus garbage-collected languages, profiling tools like Valgrind for detecting leaks, and strategies for identifying and resolving memory consumption problems before they exhaust system resources.
Managing Resources
This document introduces resource management in IT systems, covering how to identify and optimize memory, disk, and network usage. It explores strategies for decluttering system resources and prioritizing work to maximize efficiency and prevent future problems through proactive troubleshooting approaches.
Troubleshooting Example
