overall CPU usage and Memory(RAM) usage in percentage in linux/ubuntu
Solution 1
You can use top
and/or vmstat
from the procps package.
Use vmstat -s
to get the amount of RAM on your machine (optional), and
then use the output of top
to calculate the memory usage percentages.
%Cpu(s): 3.8 us, 2.8 sy, 0.4 ni, 92.0 id, 1.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
KiB Mem : 24679620 total, 1705524 free, 7735748 used, 15238348 buff/cache
KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free, 0 used. 16161296 avail Mem
You can also do this for relatively short output:
watch '/usr/bin/top -b | head -4 | tail -2'
A shell pipe that calculates the current RAM usage periodically is
watch -n 5 "/usr/bin/top -b | head -4 | tail -2 | perl -anlE 'say sprintf(\"used: %s total: %s => RAM Usage: %.1f%%\", \$F[7], \$F[3], 100*\$F[7]/\$F[3]) if /KiB Mem/'"
(CPU + Swap usages were filtered out here.)
This command prints every 5 seconds:
Every 5.0s: /usr/bin/top -b | head -4 | tail -2 | perl -anlE 'say sprintf("u... wb3: Wed Nov 21 13:51:49 2018
used: 8349560 total: 24667856 => RAM Usage: 33.8%
Solution 2
Please use one of the following:
$ free -t | awk 'NR == 2 {print "Current Memory Utilization is : " $3/$2*100}'
Current Memory Utilization is : 14.6715
OR
$ free -t | awk 'FNR == 2 {print "Current Memory Utilization is : " $3/$2*100}'
Current Memory Utilization is : 14.6703

I want to findout overall CPU usage and RAM usage in percentage, but i dint get success
$ command for cpu usage 4.85% $ command for memory usage 15.15%
OR
$ command for cpu and mamory usage cpu: 4.85% mem: 15.15%
How can I achieve this?
