Processes & disks

~20 min

Inspect running processes and filesystem free space — bread-and-butter SRE checks.

In the sandbox:

  1. ps aux | head -20 — what's running?
  2. df -h — how much disk is free?
  3. free -h (if available) or cat /proc/meminfo | head
  4. Find big dirs under /tmp: du -sh /tmp/* 2>/dev/null | sort -h | tail

Mark each checklist item when done.
