Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about VPS monitoring.
What is VPS monitoring?
VPS monitoring is the continuous tracking of your virtual private server's performance metrics including CPU usage, memory consumption, disk space, and running processes. It helps you identify issues before they cause downtime and optimize your server's performance.
Why do I need to monitor my VPS server?
Monitoring your VPS helps you prevent downtime by catching problems early, optimize resource usage to reduce costs, detect security threats like unauthorized processes, and maintain reliable service for your users. Without monitoring, issues can go unnoticed until they cause major problems.
Is MonitorVPS really free?
Yes, MonitorVPS offers a free tier that lets you monitor up to 2 servers forever with no credit card required. The free plan includes all core features: CPU, memory, and disk monitoring, process insights, smart alerts, anomaly detection, and 90-day data retention.
How do I install the MonitorVPS agent?
Installing the MonitorVPS agent takes less than 5 minutes. Simply run our one-line install script on your Linux server: curl -sSL https://app.monitorvps.com/scripts/install.sh | bash. The lightweight agent will automatically start collecting and reporting metrics.
What metrics does MonitorVPS track?
MonitorVPS tracks CPU usage, memory consumption, disk space, running processes with resource usage, and server uptime. Updates are collected every 5 minutes, and you can set custom alert thresholds for each metric.
Can MonitorVPS detect malware or security issues?
MonitorVPS helps spot security issues through anomaly detection, which flags unusual behavior like unexpected CPU spikes or unfamiliar processes. It has caught cryptominers and unauthorized services on user servers. It is not a replacement for dedicated security tools, but it gives you visibility into what is running on your server.
What should I monitor on a VPS server?
At minimum, track CPU usage, memory consumption, and disk space. These three metrics catch most problems before they cause downtime. Process monitoring adds visibility into what is consuming resources. MonitorVPS tracks all four, plus anomaly detection, on every plan including the free tier.
How often should I check my VPS server?
With monitoring in place, you don't need to check manually. MonitorVPS collects data every 5 minutes and alerts you by email or webhook when something needs attention. Without monitoring, most administrators check daily, but problems that happen overnight or on weekends go unnoticed.
What causes high CPU usage on a VPS?
Common causes include runaway application processes, database queries without indexes, cron jobs running simultaneously, brute-force login attempts, and cryptomining malware. MonitorVPS shows which specific process is consuming CPU, so you can identify the cause directly from the dashboard.
