web Based administration solution for Linux : webmin

Webmin is an open source web Based administration solution for Linux. The purpose of webmin is to gather the administration of many different tasks and services under a common web interface. The software is perl based and module based which make it adaptable. Most common tasks have a module to administer.

how To Install Webmin:
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.340-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh webmin-1.340-1.noarch.rpm

steps to install virtualmin & configure it:
login to webmin: ipaddress:100000
1) webmin -> webmin configuration -> webmin modulesInstall module -> from ftp or http url ->virtual min url is: http://download.webmin.com/download/virtualmin/virtual-server-3.201.gpl.wbm.gz

2) Enable https:yum install mod_sslin virtualmin config enable ssl for websites.
Configuring virtualmin:Enabled the subverion and mysql moduledisabled webalizerPostgreSQL setup and configuration enabled? yes.

3) If this server is going to use PGsqlPostfix configuration from webmin:servers->postfix->virtual domain->domain mapping lookup table: hash:/etc/postfix/virtual General options: Network interface for receiving mail: all [make sure that the hostname is something like sys.abc.comg is you are going to run the acb system here.]

4) dovecot configuration from webmin:webmin -> servers -> dovecot -> user login options -> Password authentication source -> unix shadow filestart at boot: yes

5) Webmin -> webmin configuration -> Ports and addressesaccess the webmin system: and then configure the port (eg 100000) for webmin listen and udp packets.

6) Webmin -> webmin configuration -> ssl encryptionAlso make webmin run on ssh.Enable SSL if available? yesRedirect non-SSL requests to SSL mode? yes

How do I Use the Linux Top Command?

The Unix top command is designed to help users determine which processes are running and which applications are using more memory or processing power than they should be. The top command is very easy to use but you should know the things in details. The output of to is : top output: top - 22:09:08 up 14 min, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.23, 0.30 Tasks: 81 total, 1 running, 80 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 9.5%us, 31.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 27.0%id, 7.6%wa, 1.0%hi, 23.7%si, 0.0%st Mem: 255592k total, 167568k used, 88024k free, 25068k buffers Swap: 524280k total, 0k used, 524280k free, 85724k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3166 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 6.6 2.4 0:00.79 httpd 3161 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.79 httpd 3164 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.75 httpd 3169 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.74 httpd 3163 apache 15

IOPS measurement

Image
IOPS (input/output operations per second) is the standard unit of measurement for the maximum number of reads and writes to non-contiguous storage locations of devices like hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and storage area networks (SAN). IOPs is often measured with an open source network testing tool called an Iometer. Some commonly accepted averages for random IO operations, calculated as 1/(seek + latency) = IOPS:  IOPS calculations Every disk in your storage system has a maximum theoretical IOPS value that is based on a formula. Disk performance — and IOPS — is based on three key factors: Rotational speed (aka spindle speed). Measured in revolutions per minute (RPM), most disks you'll consider for enterprise storage rotate at speeds of 7,200, 10,000 or 15,000 RPM with the latter two being the most common. A higher rotational speed is associated with a higher performing disk. This value is not used directly in calculations, but it is highly i
