An engineer received an alert affecting the degraded performance of a critical server. Analysis showed a heavy CPU and memory load. What is the next step the engineer should take to investigate this resource usage?
A.
Run ג€ps -uג€ to find out who executed additional processes that caused a high load on a server
B.
Run ג€ps -efג€ to understand which processes are taking a high amount of resources
C.
Run ג€ps -dג€ to decrease the priority state of high load processes to avoid resource exhaustion
D.
Run ג€ps -mג€ to capture the existing state of daemons and map required processes to find the gap
B is correct.
The options appears encoded to me.
The options are:
a) Run "ps -u" to find out who executed additional processes that caused a high load on a server.
b) Run "ps -ef" to understand which processes are taking a high amount of resources.
c) Run "ps -d" to decrease the priority state of high load processes to avoid resource exhaustion.
d) Run "ps -m" to capture the existing state of daemons and map required processes to find the gap.
ps -u --> Filter processes according to the user
ps -ef --> To see every process on the system using standard syntax
ps -d --> View all the processes except session leaders
ps -m --> display the scheduling policies of a thread
I fact ps -eF should be better

B
The command "ps -ef" provides a detailed list of all processes running on the system along with their resource utilization.
Analyzing the output of "ps -ef" will help the engineer identify which processes are consuming high CPU and memory resources, helping to pinpoint the cause of the degraded performance.
This information is crucial for understanding the current state of the system and determining the processes that may be contributing to the resource load.
