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.
