Create and Deliver a Report on System Utilization

In order to create the memory report you have been asked to provide, you can get a list of the memory resources in total and in use with the following command:

free

In order to make it more readable, you can add -h (human readable) combined with -m (megabytes) or -g (gigabytes). So to see those values, you would use:

free -gh

Finally, redirect that output to the desired file via the command:

free -gh > /home/cloud_user/memory.rep

In addition to available memory, you will need to create a report on the system storage and associated mounts on your system. You can look at available storage by mount via the command:

df

Much like the memory report, you can clean up the appearance with -h (for human readable), looking like this:

df -h

Finally, redirect this to the report file as asked with:

df -h > /home/cloud_user/mounts.rep

Finally, you will want to create a report on system processes for all users in the environment. Processes can be viewed by the command:

ps

Formatting the report for all users on the system, running any process can be done adding the 'aux' parameters like so:

ps aux

Redirecting to a report file can be done via:

ps aux > /home/cloud_user/procs.rep
