Concept of “Performance Counters” in Linux/Unix?

Several applications exist which periodically check system performance. Iostat, vmstat, and netstat - Run these commands once to get a snapshot of activity. Sysstat - This runs periodically and maintains a history of statistics such as the above.

Munin - As sysstat, but with pretty web graphs.
