System Performance Monitoring Checklist ( IT )

This checklist is designed to ensure that system performance is monitored effectively, identifying any potential issues before they impact operation. It guides the user through the necessary steps to review performance metrics and take appropriate action.

• Gather Performance Metrics

  Collect data on CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic from monitoring tools.

• Analyze CPU Performance

  Review CPU load averages over time and identify any processes that may be consuming excessive resources.

• Evaluate Memory Usage

  Check memory utilization statistics to ensure that the system is not experiencing swap usage that may indicate insufficient RAM.

• Check Disk Performance

  Assess disk I/O performance metrics to ensure that there are no bottlenecks related to disk access speeds.

• Monitor Network Traffic

  Analyze network bandwidth usage to detect any unusual spikes or drops in performance that could indicate issues.

• Review Logs for Errors

  Examine system logs for any warning or error messages that might indicate performance problems.

• Generate Performance Report

  Compile the collected data and analysis into a performance report that outlines current system health and any recommended actions.

• Schedule Follow-Up Review

  Establish a timeline for the next performance monitoring review to ensure ongoing system health.
