Monitoring

  • What is server monitoring?
    Server monitoring is the process of continuously observing a server's health and performance metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network, to detect issues and ensure uptime.
  • How do I monitor CPU and memory usage on Linux?
    Use command-line tools like top, htop, vmstat, free, and mpstat for real-time and historical CPU/memory monitoring. For ongoing monitoring, set up Prometheus with node_exporter or similar.
