There are a variety of tools to monitor the performance of your linux system. While some are as simple as using iftop, vmstat, iostat, nfsstat, stat, fstat, statfs and fstatfs. There is also top which will monitor system processes. To monitor databases, there are tools like the perl script mytop (to view MySQL database engine performance) and pgtop (to monitor PostgreSQL database engine performance).
