The detection of irregularities is fundamental to avoid impacts on its performance. In this manual, we will show you how to view and manage the resources of your Cloud server using SWPanel.

2. Monitoring System Processes

In the main Dashboard of your SWPanel account, use the search bar to locate your Cloud server. Once located, click on its name.

In this section, you can consult two options: System resources and System processes of your Cloud server.

2.1. System Resources

It allows you to see the use of CPU, RAM memory, SWAP, and system tasks of your server. By default, it updates every 30 seconds, but you can modify this time according to your needs. You also have the Refresh now button to update the data manually.

This option allows you to see the programs currently running, which perform essential tasks on the server, such as the Apache web service, the database engine, or the Kernel.

You can filter the processes by owner user to monitor the CPU and RAM usage of a particular user, such as the user bd.

If you hover the cursor over the [...] menu to the right of each process, you can view process details or kill the process.
