CPU, Memory, Disk, Load & Network Metrics

Comprehensive server telemetry collected by a lightweight bash agent with near-zero overhead.

CPU and Load Average

Track CPU utilization broken down by user, system, I/O wait, and steal time. The agent collects metrics across five tiers — from fast 5-second snapshots to daily summaries — giving you both real-time and trend data.

  • User, system, iowait, and steal breakdown
  • 5-tier collection: 5s, 30s, 5min, 1hr, 24hr
  • Load average with per-core interpretation
  • Immediate spike detection

Memory and Swap

Understand exactly how your server's memory is being used. Server Scout distinguishes between real usage, cached memory, and available memory — so you know whether your server is genuinely running low or just caching aggressively.

  • Real vs cached vs available memory
  • Swap usage and swap-in/out tracking
  • OOM risk early detection
  • Per-process memory visibility
Memory (16 GB) Used 7.8G Cached 5.1G Swap (4 GB) 512M used Available: 8.2 GB OOM risk: low

Disk and Filesystem

Monitor every mounted filesystem for both space and inode usage. Get warned before you run out — disk full and inode exhaustion are two of the most common causes of unexpected downtime.

  • Per-mount disk usage tracking
  • Inode monitoring for early warning
  • Threshold-based alerts before you fill up
  • Growth trend detection over time
Filesystems / 65% /home 85% /var 40% /tmp 12% Inodes OK on all mounts

Network Throughput

Monitor bandwidth usage on every network interface. See TX and RX rates calculated from raw byte counters, so you know exactly how much traffic each server is handling.

  • Per-interface TX/RX byte counters
  • Bandwidth rate calculation
  • Automatic interface enumeration
  • Historical throughput charting
