Cockpit is an excellent way to monitor your server's CPU, memory and storage space through your web browser. The web console can also install updates to your operating system and view your logs for troubleshooting. Cockpit also monitors your storage disks SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Tool) status to inform you about emergent issues.

Cockpit is an web-based dashboard for Linux servers that keeps you up-to-date at a glance and helps you know what your server is doing without needing to remember all of the console commands.
