Server resource monitoring helps detect overloads, errors, slow websites, and other issues.
Below are several methods for Linux servers (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS) or servers with Plesk.
🔹 Option 1: Via Console (SSH)
🔸 CPU, RAM, Disk — top or htop Command
Connect to the server via SSH:
ssh root@your.server.ip
Then enter:
top
Or, if installed:
htop
📌 Explanation:
-
CPU — processor load per core.
-
Mem — RAM usage.
-
Swap — swap memory usage.
-
Load average — system load average (over 1, 5, and 15 minutes).
🔸 Disk:
df -h
Shows the size and usage of each partition.
🔹 Option 2: Using the free Command for RAM
free -h
