He was talking about business systems, but it\u2019s just as valid for servers. You can\u2019t control or improve web hosting operations without monitoring, which is why cPanel &amp; WHM is packed with tools to give you insight into your server\u2019s hardware and software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will show you how cPanel &amp; WHM\u2019s server monitoring tools make it easy to take control and diagnose issues quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Check Your Server\u2019s Status in cPanel &amp; WHM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important monitoring tools are helpfully arranged under the <em>Server Status<\/em> item in WHM\u2019s sidebar menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/00-whm-server-status-menu.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56845\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can find out about resource consumption, the health of individual services, and everything you need to know about what your server is doing behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at each of the menu items in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Server Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Server Information<\/em> page displays basic data that includes hardware and details about resource consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/01-whm-server-information.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56849\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This page should be your first port of call when you need a quick health overview. It shows how much memory and storage is available and how much is being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apache Server Status<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apache web server is a critical component of your web hosting operation, so we display a comprehensive selection of performance and status information on a single page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/02-whm-apache-server-status.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56853\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see uptime and load averages, the number of requests, and their status. <em>Apache Server Status<\/em> is an incredibly useful diagnostic tool when users report website performance issues and latency issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Daily Process Log<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Daily Process Log<\/em> displays the resources consumed by users and processes during the current day and for 24-hour periods in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/03-whm-daily-process-log.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56857\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where you should head to find clues about the causes of performance or resource contention issues. It reveals at a glance which user is consuming the most resources and which of their processes is the culprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Service Status<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A server may run dozens of services, the software responsible for everything from DNS lookups to log management and email delivery. The <em>Service Status<\/em> page allows you to monitor their condition to see whether they are running as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/05-whm-service-status-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56861\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Task Queue Monitor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The task queue is a list of tasks running right now or waiting to run. <em>Task Queue Monitor<\/em> tells you what the machine is doing and what it plans to do soon. The monitor updates in real-time and provides an invaluable moment-by-moment activity overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like more details about each of the tools we\u2019ve discussed, take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/server-status\/\">in-depth documentation<\/a> pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are the Best Tools for Server Monitoring?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel &amp; WHM\u2019s server monitoring tools provide all the information most administrators need, but, if you prefer a different approach, partners such as CloudLinux&#x2122; offer additional monitoring features as add-on options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudlinux.com\/\">CloudLinux OS<\/a> is an operating system for shared hosting providers who use cPanel &amp; WHM. It is best known for its ability to partition resources so that each user consumes only the allotted memory, CPU, and network resources they are granted. It also includes powerful monitoring tools. This combination of granular resource allocation and rich monitoring allows shared hosting providers to make the most efficient and cost-effective use of their server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy a CloudLinux license <a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.net\/extensions\/\">from our extensions page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monitoring is the key to shipshape servers and fast issue resolution.
