查 CPU

$ uptime

Load average: 0.03 0.11 0.19
Load average: 一分鐘 五分鐘 十五分鐘內的平均負載
單核心，如果 Load average 是 1 表示負載 100%
多核心的話，因為 Load average 是所有 CPU 數加起來，所以數值可能會大於 1

$ sudo apt-get install sysstat

iotop cannot is not working inside a container.

查 Process

$ ps aux
$ pstree -a

# attach to a process to find out system calls the process calls
# -t -- absolute timestamp
# -T -- print time spent in each syscall
# -s strsize -- limit length of print strings to STRSIZE chars (default 32)
# -f -- follow forks
# -e -- filtering expression: `option=trace,abbrev,verbose,raw,signal,read,write,fault`
# -u username -- run command as username handling setuid and/or setgid
$ strace -t -T -f -s 2048 -p THE_PID

# find out which files that nginx accesses

查 Network

$ sar -n TCP,ETCP 1

查 DNS

Resolve a domain name using dig:

$ apt-get install curl dnsutils iputils-ping
# or
$ apk add --update bind-tools

$ dig +short october-api.default.svc.cluster.local
10.32.1.79

$ dig +short redis-broker.default.svc.cluster.local
10.60.32.20
10.60.33.15

$ dig +short redis-broker-0.redis-broker.default.svc.cluster.local
10.60.32.20

ref:
https://blog.longwin.com.tw/2013/03/dig-dns-query-debug-2013/

Resolve a domain name using nslookup:

$ apt-get install dnsutils

$ nslookup redis-broker.default.svc.cluster.local
Server:    10.3.240.10
Address 1: 10.3.240.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local

Name:      redis-broker.default.svc.cluster.local
Address 1: 10.0.69.46 redis-broker-0.redis-broker.default.svc.cluster.local

Find specific types of DNS records:

$ nslookup -q=TXT codetengu.com
Server:     1.1.1.1
Address:    1.1.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
codetengu.com    text = "zoho-verification=xxx.zmverify.zoho.com"

Authoritative answers can be found from:

nslookup could return multiple A records for a domain which is commonly known as round-robin DNS.

# 顯示各個 status code 的數量
$ cat access.log | cut -d '"' -f3 | cut -d ' ' -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# 顯示哪些 URL 的 404 數量最多
$ awk '($9 ~ /404/)' access.log | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# 顯示 2016/10/01 的 16:00 ~ 18:00 的 log
$ grep "01/Oct/2016:1[6-8]" access.log

# 顯示 2016/10/01 的 09:00 ~ 12:00 的 log
$ egrep "01/Oct/2016:(0[8-9]|1[0-2])" access.log

如果 status code 是 502 Bad Gateway
通常表示是 load balancer / nginx 的 upstream server 掛了或連不到
如果是 Kubernetes service 的話
可能是 Service spec.selector 跟 pod 匹配不起來

50 Most Frequently Used UNIX / Linux Commands
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/11/50-linux-commands/

Write a Simple Script in Shell

Write a for loop.

$ for pod_name in $(kubectl get pods -l app=swag-worker-test -o jsonpath={..metadata.name}); do; kubectl delete pod $pod_name; done
pod "swag-worker-test-67fffcdd5-5hgf3" deleted
pod "swag-worker-test-67fffcdd5-h8jgg" deleted

# you could also write multiple lines
for pod_name in $(kubectl get pods -l app=swag-worker-test -o jsonpath={..metadata.name}); do
    kubectl delete pod $pod_name
done

Write a while true.

# using trap and wait will make your container react immediately to a stop request
$ bash -c "trap : TERM INT; sleep infinity & wait"
# or
$ bash -c "while true; do echo 'I am alive!'; sleep 3600; done"

or
