I have checked the sar report and found that CPU & Memory is getting utilized much more at particular time (for ex. day ago).

Is it possible to find which process was taking much CPU & Mem?
How do we found which process were consuming that Memory & CPU.

  Well, From my understanding there is no was that you will be able to see history as by default it's not logged but you can script is to output in the file to look back! I would say it's better to run it every 2 mins as it will only create text file and then purge it every 5 days.

No.

Unless you have set some (complex) monitoring you won't be able to find out which process used CPU once process has exited.

there is no such "standard" thing as a table with

exec path;exec name;stime,etime,%sys,%io,%wait,%idle,...

you must catch the process during exec time.

This can be achieved by saving the output of top command in file:

Script:

NOW=`date "%y%m%d_%H%M%S"` ## to print the time.

echo "$NOW"
top > <PATH_TO_FILE>
exit 0

Once done you can put this script in cron to run at specific internal!!

  because top runs repeatedly in the terminal until q is pressed, generally updating every second or every 3 seconds, it will make a heck of a mess redirected into any output file. As well as never quit, so your exit 0 will never happen.

crontab -e

# min hr day month day_of_week

# every minute run :
1 * * * * /root/watch_processes.sh

one time do manually: mkdir /root/process_watch

create simple script /root/watch_processes.sh

#!/bin/bash

# %cpu pid command args

ps -eo "%C %P %U %c %a" > /root/process_watch/`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M`

The above will create a text file, every minute, having only the date as the filename but they will all be under the given folder which in the example above is /mkdir/process_watch. Adjust accordingly.

http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_man_pages/ps1.html

tweak the output as needed of ps -eo for every process, using %C %P %U %c %a will result in these 5 columns of data

1. cpu %


2. process id


3. user name


4. command running


5. arguments given to command running

In each file you will get a lot of listing with 0.0 in the first column. Someone good with awk or sed can maybe add syntax to the above to filter out the 0% cpu processes.

like was said you have to catch the process when it happens, once the process finishes there is no record of pid# having taken %cpu when. You will have to do a process watch like this then go back and find the offenders.
