Monitor Website Resource Usage with website-usage v2

Managing server resources effectively is crucial, especially when hosting multiple websites. If your customers are experiencing slowdowns or encountering "Service Unavailable" errors, you need a way to monitor CPU, RAM, and I/O usage per website. To solve this, we built website-usage, a lightweight Bash script that provides real-time resource usage insights per website as CPU/RAM/IO usage is not currently available in the dashboard.

Features

✅ Monitor CPU, Memory, and I/O usage per website
✅ Interactive website selection mode - no need to remember website IDs
✅ Real-time monitoring with watch mode
✅ JSON output format for integration with monitoring systems
✅ Color-coded output for better readability
✅ Process count monitoring
✅ Website owner information display
✅ Simple installation and usage

Installation

Setting up website-usage is quick and easy. Run the following command to install it on your server:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://tools.webgee.com/enhance/usage/installer.sh)

If curl is unavailable, you can use:

bash <(wget -qO- https://tools.webgee.com/enhance/usage/installer.sh)

This command downloads and installs the script to /usr/bin/website-usage, making it accessible system-wide.

Usage

The tool now supports multiple usage modes:

1. Interactive Mode

Simply run the command without any arguments to see a list of available websites:

website-usage

root@pluto:~# website-usage
