I'd like to get an overview of resource usage of one particular process running on a ubuntu server. Can anyone tell me how I'd go about doing that.

Thanks

    htop is very nice; you can run strace or lsof on a process within htop by highlighting the process and typing 's' or 'l' respectively. Mar 22, 2010 at 14:43

  • Is there a tool which persist this data periodically and displays graphs to understand the resource usage over time?

You can run top and filter on the process or user running the process.
