Dear Wizards, I setup the ubuntu 16.04 server in vSphere 6.5 with 250 GB hard disk, but days later I increased it to 500 GB, but seems like the VM still had only 250 GB.

How can I claim it back correctly? Many thanks!

Does anyone know How can I see the interface up and down logs in the ubuntu 18.4? there should be something like /var/log/dmesg shows logs

Below -extract of recommendations section from the attached

-- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Control warning line(s) into /var/log/mysqld.log file
    Control error line(s) into /var/log/mysqld.log file
    Set up a Password for user with the following SQL statement ( SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'SpecificDNSorIp' = PASSWORD('secure_password'); )
    Restrict Host for user@% to user@SpecificDNSorIp
    MySQL was started within the last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate

I am sysadmin..I want to know

I want to reach the server, to check the connectivity thru specific port.
This is just to varify whether the required firewall rule defined properly or not.

Consider the below scenario

userPC---- firewall --- Destination-server
                         10.1.1.1


I have installed some software on the server, the service  of that software is using port # 301.

1) Scenario...
      Firewall defined
      server#  service UP
        userPC# telnet 10.1.1.1 301  --> user get reply

2)Scenario...
      Firewall defined
      server# service DOWN

is there any command/3rdparty-tools available to just varify, pockets from userPC able to reach on the server through port#301

==
This I asked just to segregate if there any issue, problem from firewall side (or) destination server side.

Dear Experts

in linux server of centos,  we are running crm which is web based application apache, mysql and php once in few hours users are getting timeout and this is affecting very badly,
1. would like to fetch the log reports of server resources consumption like  RAM, CPU to understand the issue is occurring due to over load of that particular time.
2.  would like to fetch apache logs and mysql logs of that particular time
to determine the time that users are facing issues of application time out , Can I ask software developer to provide me time out occurred and application closed  date and time and during that time check the server resource utilisation which will help me to trace the issue is it due to server or application level.
please help on best practice on such cases.

I want to create a server(OS: CentOS) which will be acting as an interface to an Android app(client) and the database.

I am not much experienced in programming and I just want a little bit of guidance right now to get started.
I have decided that I want to program the server in C++(though it's not an easy language but I believe there's much more to learn while programming in C++)

The basic functionality I want from my server:
1. It will interact with the app via https.
2. The server and client(app) will communicate via REST APIs.

I want guidance in terms of the most stable and well documented external C++ libraries that I should use to program the above server(I've looked at zmq, libcurl, netlib-cpp but due to my lack of experience I don't even know if these are really related to my problem statement). Thanks in advance. Please feel free to attach any blog/article/video which might be relevant.

I have multiple NICs on my Redhat 6 x86_64 server and as part of my script I have to determine which NIC is the default gateway on each server since there are lots of static routes over the other NICS. I always see the default gateway as the last line in the routing table but is that logic flawed and I just run net stat -rn | tail -1 | awk '{print $8}' but I'm not sure if that logic is up to par and I'm going to have to tally it up with what's in /etc/sysconfig/network as the gateway.
