I am using nodejs and mongojs on abuntu to test things about a multiplayer game. I am worried about the cpu usage, because it’s always 100% full even when users are not connected. I don’t know if the data of the cpu usage is only related to my 5$ droplet or to the whole cpu core. Does it affect other users and should i be worried about it?

Another useful tool for monitoring server utilization is ‘glances’. It shows you all of what ‘top’ shows you plus IO, network traffic, and disk space consumption/availability.
Hi @andrfil
Yes, the CPU usage you can see is only related to your droplet.
But you’re on a $5 droplet, so you only get a single CPU. You can view processes by looking at
toporhtopwhich will show which are taking up the resources.If you constantly are using 100% CPU, then DigitalOcean might contact you because you’re just one user between multiple others on the same physical hardware, meaning you might be impacting others.
