How do I monitor RAM and CPU usage?

Keeping an eye on your server's resource use helps you catch problems early and judge whether you're sized right. HumbleServers gives you live stats in the panel, plus deeper on-demand analysis through spark.

Live monitoring in the panel

While your server runs, the Console / server page shows live CPU, RAM, and Disk usage.

Deeper analysis with spark

For a closer look at where resources go over time:

1. Run /spark tps for a quick tick-rate and CPU read.
2. Run /spark healthreport for an overall server health summary.
3. Run /spark heapsummary to see what's holding memory.

These show per-plugin and per-entity usage, which the panel graph alone can't.

Tip: Watch RAM right after boot and again under player load — comparing the two tells you whether your plan is comfortably sized or running close to the edge.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I see live CPU and RAM? On the Console / server page while the server is running — it displays CPU, RAM, and Disk in real time.

What does spark add over the panel graph? Spark breaks usage down by plugin and entity over time, so you can see the cause of load, not just the totals the panel shows.
