How do I monitor my server's performance?

Monitoring server performance is crucial for ensuring optimal operation and long-term stability. To effectively monitor a BeastNode server, one can utilize various built-in tools, third-party applications, and services that measure critical metrics. Common metrics to track include CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, and network traffic. One popular method is to use tools like top or htop, which provide a real-time view of system processes and resource consumption on Linux servers. These utilities are easy to use and offer a quick glance at overall system performance. For more detailed analysis, one might consider setting up monitoring software such as Nagios, Zabbix, or Prometheus. These applications can provide comprehensive insights, including alerts for resource overutilization and trends over time, which can ultimately help with capacity planning and troubleshooting. Some users also find value in web-based server monitoring solutions that provide dashboards and analytics. These can be extremely helpful for those who prefer a graphical interface. BeastNode does provide documentation and resources that may contain tips and tools for monitoring server performance.
