# Monitoring

### Monitoring from the command line

The easiest way to see the server load is through the CLI:

```
sudo apt install htop -y
htop
```

But we will analyze a more complex one, however, due to the truncated functions, it is easily configured and everyone can install it without any problems.

### Netdata

To write an article and test this method, I took the article of the same name from [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-real-time-performance-monitoring-with-netdata-on-ubuntu-16-04).

The advantage of Netdata is that you can monitor the server from any device without entering the terminal.

```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```

Installing the necessary dependencies

```
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev uuid-dev libmnl-dev gcc make autoconf autoconf-archive autogen automake pkg-config curl
sudo apt-get install python python-yaml python-mysqldb python-psycopg2 nodejs lm-sensors netcat
```

In the last command above, we have to install the recommended but optional packages, but in practice libmnl-dev is not installed (Ubuntu 20.04) which leads to errors in further installation. Therefore, we do the following:

```
# Looking for available packages libuv:
apt-cache search libuv

# Install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acooks/libwebsockets6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libuv1.dev

# Just in case, install:
sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install libffi-dev
sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt install python3-virtualenv
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc -y
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install build-essential -y
sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip
```

The preparation is over. We clone the Netdata repository from GitHub and go to the copied directory:

```
git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git --depth=1 ~/netdata
cd ~/netdata
```

Building and installing the Netdata package:

```
sudo ./netdata-installer.sh
```

We open port 19999, since this port is used by NetData servers. In order to understand how UFW works - an article from DigitalOcean "[Initial server setup](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-16-04)".

```
sudo ufw allow 19999/tcp
```

🎉Done! It remains to replace `your_server_ip` with the IP of the server, and see the result in the browser:

```
http://your_server_ip:19999/
```
