There are plenty of ways to check or monitor your CPU performance on a Linux server with the help of different tools, such as sysstat or htop.
By default, you can check real-time resource usage using the command:
# top
You can also add the -i parameter to prevent idle processes from being displayed:
# top -i
NOTE: You can exit viewing your resource usage by pressing q on the keyboard.

External monitoring tools exist for Windows operating systems as well. However, it is easiest to check CPU usage via the Performance tab within Task Manager.
