1. htop: This is a tool that provides a live, running view of the processes running on your server. It includes information about CPU usage, memory usage, and other relevant metrics. You can install it by running the following commands:
On Ubuntu: \`\`\` sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install htop \`\`\` On CentOS: \`\`\` sudo yum update sudo yum install htop \`\`\` After installation, you can run ‘htop’ command to see the stats.1. top: This is another tool that provides a live, scrolling view of the processes running on your server. It can be run by simply typing `top` into your terminal.
1. vmstat: This utility reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, CPUs and disk utilization. To install vmstat,
On Ubuntu: \`\`\` sudo apt-get install sysstat \`\`\` On CentOS: \`\`\` sudo yum install sysstat \`\`\` 1. Glances: This is a cross-platform system monitoring tool written in Python. It can provide a lot of information including CPU usage. Installation: \`\`\` pip install glances \`\`\` Run it by simply typing `glances` in terminal.1. If you have a control panel like cPanel or Plesk on your VPS, they often come with built-in system resource monitors which you can access via their dashboard.
