The following utilities are used to identify main faults in the Linux system:

  • top or htop — monitoring CPU load, memory, and processes in real-time.
  • dmesg — viewing kernel system messages, useful for diagnosing hardware issues.
  • journalctl — viewing systemd logs, helps to find service errors.
  • vmstat — statistics on memory, processes, input/output.
  • iostat — disk usage monitoring.
  • free — displaying memory information.
  • ping and traceroute — checking network connections.
  • strace — tracing system calls for debugging programs.
  • lsof — list of open files and sockets.

Using these tools, you can quickly identify bottlenecks and causes of failures in the system.
