Hello,
What I would suggest here is using a command called htop to view the processes on your server. It is a bit more user friendly and you could actually sort out your processes by CPU, RAM usage and etc. by clicking with your mouse.
All you need to do is run the following in your terminal:
htop
If the command is not found you could install it on your Ubuntu server by running:
apt install htop -y
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
