Server Stats History

[thbaig]

Hi,
OS = Fedora Core, CentOs 5

I am in process to install some applications on my servers.
But before doing that i want to know the load of my current system.

I want to review the last 7-10 days stats for consumption of CPU,Memory,Network and disk IO.

Is there some built in stat mechanism exist or I have to install some software ?

If software, kindly recommend .

thank you

check out sar, it belongs to the sysstat package.

if you want something more robust, extensive, and graphical, I recommend you check out Xymon. it will server your longer term monitoring needs quite well.
