Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to monitor the resources on some machines. Unfortunately monitoring load or simply traditional CPU/Memory does not provide accurate values for burst workload. So if I rely on these metrics to accommodate traffic I am ending up in too many losses due to slowness in updating these metrics according to my intensive traffic.
Do you know if there are some low level OS metrics which are more sensitive to changes in traffic(maybe some reported by systat ?) which allows me to react more quickly in multiplexing the traffic ?
Well, you don't say which tools you've used and how you are using them.
Exactly what do you want to measure?
Most tools have options to specify frequency of polling, but of course the more frequently you do that, the more the measuring affects the numbers measured ... its all a bit quantum
