You're troubleshooting a mission-critical server (cannot be rebooted) that is experiencing severe lag. You only have terminal access. Describe your debugging process, including specific commands and tools you'd use to diagnose the issue. For example, would you start by checking CPU usage, memory consumption, or disk I/O?
