Monitor Website Resource Usage with website-usage Tool

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
✅ Provides human-readable CPU percentage
✅ Displays memory usage in MB with a percentage indicator
✅ Reports I/O usage in MB/s for better understanding
✅ 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

Once installed, you can check the resource usage of any website using its website ID:

website-usage <website_id>

Example Output

Website ID: 98f79a38-2fc4-462b-8c99-ea111d0e3cea
CPU Usage: 99.94%
Memory Usage: 3023 MB / 3072 MB (98.00%)
IO Usage: Read 2.05 MB/s, Write 0 MB/s, Total 2.05 MB/s

This output helps identify websites that are over-utilizing server resources, allowing you to take necessary actions like upgrading their plan or optimizing their performance.

Contribute to the Project

We believe in open-source collaboration! The website-usage tool is available on GitHub:

WebGee is it shows CPU utilization against allocated vCPU/per website or against all max cpu?

Kosta

WebGee can I ask you how long it did takes you to develop this script please

8Dweb

Please feel free to look this fork over and include any elements.
We have modified the script to ask for one site or all sites.
We have modified the script to include the directory owner
We have modified the script, so that if search for one site is selected, then request UUID or use owner (which makes searching easier in some cases)

https://github.com/8dcloud/Enhance_Scripts/blob/main/usage.sh

Note: in the current form, if you select "one" and enter a user such as "north" it will output all sites with "north*" in them. Wording of the initial input query could be better... We were in a rush... 😉

gmakhs

8Dweb if you guys manage to do that stuff i wonder why enhance havent done it so many years, looks great

WebGee

Kosta less than an hour
8Dweb Thanks for contributing, I’ll do a quick check over your fork today and let’s have an enhanced version 👌🏻

8Dweb

pratik_asabe I have updated it a bit to give vCPU allocation...
I will update my fork shortly with changes.

Output now shows like this:

Enter Site UUID or at least 5 characters of the owner name:
northcr
Now searching for: north Please be patient...

Website ID: [REDACTED]
Owner: north***
vCPU Allocation: .90 vCPUs
CPU Quota: 900000 µs (Quota is the max CPU time in a period)
CPU Period: 1000 ms (The time window for quota enforcement)
CPU Usage: %
Memory Usage: 736 MB / 768 MB (95.00%)

WebGee

pratik_asabe it should show max CPU allocated in the package

8Dweb

currently, max cpu.

Kosta

gmakhs they are busy with other stuff…
Exactly what I’ve been thinking for many situations here….

pratik_asabe

8Dweb I tried but few things,

if given uuid, it ends session abnormally and thrown out of script, this needs to be looked into..
I like the simplest approach of original script

website-usage.sh <website uuid>

because I always use such scripts in combination with 'watch' combination, so i can see realtime output with time interval

if it'd give the vCPU usage % against allocated

ex,
vCPU Allocation: .90vCPUs
CPU Usage: 70% (like .70vCPU)

pratik_asabe

WebGee oh okay, thanks for the clarification.. if you could in future make it realtime with list view of all the website?

Kosta

WebGee great work!
So enhance team needs years to release feature that requires 1-2h to be developed… fu great

gmakhs

Kosta lack of man power and proper task management

WebGee

pratik_asabe We have a plan to include realtime list, but we initially released this script to validate the need and get feedbacks, once release we'll notify you all 😉

8Dweb Original always wins 😃

8Dweb

I do see an error in several iterations on the UUID search. I am out for the day, but will update and fix that.

I understand those who want the simplicity of the original, but for us, looking up the UUID is several extra steps and clicks, since we know most of the site owners (after dealing with them for years in Plesk and Enhance).

I will check our latest against the original to see why the UUID search broke down... 🙂

8Dweb

eh, to each their own. But, the original sparked our thinking, and without it our modified version would not have come to mind, So, kudos to @WebGee for sure.

8Dweb

Ok, we updated our script:

Now has command line switches (--UUID --OWNER --CPU --HELP)
Works in either command line mode with switches or interactive (interactive cleaned up a bit)

You may search by UUID, Directory OWNER or ALL

You may include CPU percentage statistics (slower search) or without (faster, great for seeing memory)

Thanks again to @WebGee

Why not make one public repo for this script, and anyone want to contribute can do so ?

So everyone can help improve it.

8Dweb

adil We would certainly defer to @WebGee since they are the originators.

Where is Enhance to hire you 2 as developers to release useful tools.
