I’ve got a centOS/nginx droplet running many WordPress sites. I can use command line tools to see my resources like RAM, CPU, disk space but I am wondering if there’s a way or a tool that’d alert me via email or text if they hit an upper limit, like 80% or 90%?
Thanks all.

Apologies for jumping in here. <br> <br>@yoavz.z - what exactly is ‘load’ and presumably there is a command to view the current load in Linux? <br> <br>Thanks.
Hi,
<br>
<br>I suggest you monitor load rather than cpu usage, it gives you the overall state of the machine…
<br>You can create your own script to notify you in cases that high loads occur:
<br>
<br>#!/bin/bash
<br>
<br>mail=“mail@example.com”
<br>maxload=“10”
<br>hn=hostname
<br>load=w | head -n1 | awk '{print$10}' | cut -d"," -f1
<br>
<br>if [ $load -gt $maxload ]; then
<br> echo “Oh no, system load higher than $maxload detected…”
<br> echo “Alerting $mail”
<br> echo “$hn High Load Found.” | mail -s “$hn High Load Found.” – $mail
<br>else
<br> echo “OK”
<br>fi
<br>
