I’ve been trying to track the CPU usage in droplets,however I can only find time-defined options. Is there any way available to track the CPU usage dynamically?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
What I would personally do is to use a command like top or htop. Both commands will show you your current CPU usage in real time.
You can follow the steps here on how to use the commands:
This answer also includes an example of how to use the sar command too.
Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby
