Try running Nmon over a couple of days collecting stats every 10-20
seconds (a bit excessive) or a minute. Then run the nmon stats through
the Nmon Analyser spreadsheet. That should show how the I/O, RAM and
CPU usage and top CPU consumers during those periods pretty nicely.
Download Nmon for RHEL (perfectly usable on CentOS) from IBM or
sourceforge : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/nmon
, http://nmon.sourceforge.net/pmwiki.php
and the analyser is here:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/nmonanalyser
Here's a sample on how to run:
#Intensive, every 10 second. Will use a lot of CPU
nmon -fT -s 10 -c 8640
#Regular, a sample every minute
nmon -fT -s 60 -c 1440
