Check CPU/RAM/disk usage
Monitor CPU, memory and disk usage on your Victus VPS from the panel graphs and with standard Linux commands to spot bottlenecks.
Keeping an eye on resource usage tells you when to optimise, upgrade your plan, or hunt down a runaway process. Victus gives you live CPU/RAM/disk graphs in the panel, and inside the machine you have the full set of Linux tools.
From the control panel
The VPS overview at control.victuscloud.com shows live CPU, memory and disk usage against your plan limits. This is the fastest at-a-glance check and works even when you cannot SSH in.

iostat -x 2 # from the sysstat packageLinux uses spare memory for disk cache, so "used" in free -h can look high. Look at the "available" column — that is what apps can actually claim before swapping.
If CPU sits near 100% or memory is exhausted and swapping heavily, either optimise the workload, add a swap file (see that article), or upgrade your VPS plan from billing.victuscloud.com. Watch disk usage too — a full root disk breaks services silently.
