By: Kamesh Ganesan, Rithin Skaria, Frederik Vos

Overview of this book

Thanks to its flexibility in delivering scalable cloud solutions, Microsoft Azure is a suitable platform for managing all your workloads. You can use it to implement Linux virtual machines and containers, and to create applications in open source languages with open APIs. This Linux administration book first takes you through the fundamentals of Linux and Azure to prepare you for the more advanced Linux features in later chapters. With the help of real-world examples, you’ll learn how to deploy virtual machines (VMs) in Azure, expand their capabilities, and manage them efficiently. You will manage containers and use them to run applications reliably, and in the concluding chapter, you'll explore troubleshooting techniques using a variety of open source tools. By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in administering Linux on Azure and leveraging the tools required for deployment.

Chapter 11: Troubleshooting and Monitoring Your Workloads

Troubleshooting and logging are very much related; you start analyzing the Event, Service and System logs when you experience problems.

Troubleshooting problems and fixing the problems found in a cloud environment can be different from troubleshooting in more classic deployments. This chapter explains the differences, the challenges, and the new possibilities of troubleshooting Linux workloads in the Azure environment.

By the end of this chapter, you'll be able to:

  • Achieve performance analysis in a Linux system using different tools.
  • Monitor metrics such as CPU, memory, storage, and network details.
  • Use Azure tooling to identify and fix problems.
  • Use Linux tooling to identify and fix problems.
