CPU & Load Monitoring
Per-core CPU usage and load average (1/5/15 min), with alerts when sustained load crosses your threshold — not just a single noisy spike.
Why Linux system monitoring matters more than "is it up"
A server can be technically "up" and still be minutes away from falling over — disk filling up, memory leaking, load climbing on a runaway process. Simple uptime checks won't catch any of that. CloudStats was built specifically for Linux system monitoring: it watches the internals of the machine, not just whether port 443 answers, so you get warned while there's still time to act.
Works the way sysadmins actually work
No YAML files to hand-edit, no separate database to run for metrics storage, no dashboards you have to build yourself. Install the agent, and within a minute you have working graphs for CPU, memory, swap, disk I/O, network throughput, and process-level resource usage — on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux.
RAM & Swap Tracking
Real memory usage, cache, buffers, and swap activity, so you catch memory leaks before an OOM-killer takes down your app.
Disk Space & I/O
Per-partition disk usage alerts before you hit 100%, plus I/O wait tracking to catch storage bottlenecks.
Process Monitoring
Track resource usage of specific processes (nginx, mysql, php-fpm, custom services) and get alerted if one stops responding.
Lightweight Agent
Under 20MB RAM footprint and negligible CPU overhead — safe to run even on the smallest 512MB VPS.
Historical Graphs
30+ days of history by default, so you can correlate an incident with what was happening on the server an hour, a day, or a week earlier.
1. Run a single install command on your Linux server (supports all major distros).
2. The agent starts reporting CPU, RAM, disk, and process metrics within 60 seconds.
3. Set thresholds for what counts as a warning vs. a critical alert.
4. Get notified via email, SMS, Slack, Telegram, or webhook the moment something crosses the line.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What Linux distributions does CloudStats support?
Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and most other systemd-based distributions.
How much overhead does the monitoring agent add?
The agent typically uses under 20MB of RAM and a fraction of a percent of CPU, so it's safe to run even on small VPS instances.
Can I monitor a specific process, like MySQL or nginx?
Yes — you can track CPU, memory, and uptime for individual named processes and get alerted if one crashes or starts misbehaving.
Does this replace tools like top, htop, or vmstat?
It complements them. Those tools show you a snapshot when you're logged in; CloudStats watches continuously and alerts you even when you're not looking.
