What this solves
You want to see how much CPU, RAM, and disk your VPS is using.
Quick commands
top or htop – CPU and memory per process. df -h – disk space. free -h – memory summary.
Ongoing monitoring
Use a monitoring agent (e.g. Netdata, Prometheus + Grafana) or your provider’s dashboard if they offer one. Set alerts for high CPU, low disk, or high memory so you can act before issues occur.
Tip: If usage is constantly high, consider upgrading the VPS or optimizing the app.
