Free Resource Monitoring
Keep a close eye on your CPU, RAM, disk, and network with real-time monitoring to ensure your system runs smoothly, avoid annoying slowdowns, and boost overall performance. Smart tools help you spot issues early, optimize resources, and keep everything humming along nicely.
What is Resource Monitoring?
When left unchecked, resource overloads can lead to slow websites, application crashes, or even downtime. By monitoring in real time, you gain visibility into how your infrastructure is behaving — and can fix issues before your users notice them.
Why Resource Monitoring Matters
Every business depends on technology today. From e-commerce stores handling thousands of transactions to SaaS apps serving global users, performance is non-negotiable.
Without monitoring, you are essentially “flying blind.” A server might be running out of memory, or disk space may be nearly full, but you wouldn’t know until it’s too late. This can lead to downtime, frustrated customers, lost sales, and damaged reputation.

With effective resource monitoring
- You spot early warning signs of overload.
- You can scale resources smartly without overpaying for unused capacity.
- You ensure optimal uptime and user satisfaction.
Key Metrics in Resource Monitoring
CPU Monitoring
Track utilization and load to catch saturation early and keep services responsive.
Disk Monitoring
Watch capacity, IOPS, throughput, and latency to prevent storage bottlenecks.
Network Monitoring
Track bandwidth, errors, and latency to ensure fast, reliable connectivity.
RAM Monitoring
Keep an eye on memory pressure to avoid swapping and app slowdowns.
Benefits of Resource Monitoring
Implementing proper resource monitoring gives you a strategic advantage:
- Enhanced User Experience: Keep websites and applications consistently fast.
- Better Security: Spot unusual spikes that may indicate malicious activity.
- Improved Uptime: Detect and fix issues before they cause downtime.
- Actionable Insights: Make informed decisions about scaling and infrastructure planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resources can I monitor?- How often are metrics collected?
- Is there an agent to install?
- Which platforms are supported?
- Can I receive alerts on mobile?
- Do you support cron job monitoring?
What resources can I monitor?
You can track CPU, memory, disk and network in real time, along with key processes and services. CPU covers utilization, load averages and per-core saturation. Memory includes used/free, cache, swap activity and page faults. Disk covers capacity, read/write IOPS, throughput and latency. Network includes bandwidth, errors, retransmits and open connections. You can also watch ports, SSL expiry, system logs and custom app metrics when needed.
How often are metrics collected?
Most teams start at one minute. Critical systems can go to 30 seconds during peak hours or incidents. Higher frequency gives better visibility but costs a bit more CPU and network, so it’s common to use one minute by default and temporarily increase sampling when an alert fires. Long-term graphs are rolled up to keep trends without storing every single sample forever.
Is there an agent to install?
You can go agent or agentless. The agent gives the richest metrics and can ship custom app stats. Agentless uses SSH/WMI/SNMP for basic health where installing software isn’t possible. In Kubernetes, deploy as a DaemonSet so each node is covered automatically.
Which platforms are supported?
Linux (major distros), Windows Server, containers and VMs across AWS, Azure and GCP, plus on-prem hypervisors. Tag hosts by environment and role (e.g., “prod”, “db”, “cache”) to group charts and alerts cleanly.
Can I receive alerts on mobile?
Yes. Get email and SMS, and route alerts into Slack or Microsoft Teams so on-call sees them immediately. Escalations help: if nobody acknowledges, the alert can auto-page another person or a backup channel. Quiet hours and schedules keep nights and weekends sane.
Do you support cron job monitoring?
Yes. Each job can report start time, end time, exit code and runtime. You’ll get an alert if a run is missed, runs far longer than usual or exits with an error. It’s handy for backups, batch emails and daily reports where silence often hides a failure.
