Answer from AI

To monitor CPU and RAM usage in the system, you can use both built-in system utilities and specialized tools:

  • Linux: commands top, htop, vmstat, free show current CPU load and memory usage.
  • Windows: Task Manager, Performance Monitor.
  • Monitoring tools: Prometheus with node_exporter, Zabbix, Grafana for metric visualization.

Example of using top in Linux:

top

It will display processes with their CPU load and memory consumption in real-time.

For automation and metric collection on the server, agents are often used to gather data and send it to a centralized monitoring system.
