• Memory Usage: The amount of memory that is currently being used by the system.
• Disk Usage: The amount of disk space that is currently being used.
• Network Usage: The amount of data that is being transmitted over the network.

Tools for Resource Monitoring

• Prometheus: An open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit.
• Grafana: An open-source platform for visualization and analytics.
• Nagios: An open-source monitoring system.

Best Practices

• Regularly Monitor: Regularly check the resource usage to identify any potential issues early on.
• Set Thresholds: Set thresholds for resource usage to trigger alerts when usage exceeds a certain level.
• Analyze Logs: Analyze system logs to identify any patterns or anomalies in resource usage.
