How to Easily Check I/O Usage by Process in Linux
in Linux
Applies to:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later
Linux x86-64
Goal
Linux systems do not generally log past I/O activity per process. It is however quite simple to check for I/O activity per process while the processes are still running in the system. The purpose of this document is to provide the steps to accomplish this both in Oracle Linux or Ubuntu instances in OCI, but it will also apply to any Linux distribution where iotop can be installed.
Solution
The iotop utility can be used to check disk I/O usage in real time on any Linux system where iotop can be installed.
