Check Server Configuration - Memory, Hard Disc, Processor in Ubuntu Linux
In Linux Ubuntu, you do not have any GUI mode to display the RAM detail and Hard Disk details. So you need the commands to view the server status in Ubuntu.
1. View RAM Details
You can view RAM details if different units like KB, MB, GB etc. The default is KB.
free
Output:
| total | used | free | shared | buff/cache | available | |
| Mem: | 8173808 | 1148064 | 4727868 | 85688 | 2297876 | 6591952 |
| Swap: | 1048572 | 0 | 1048572 |
View in MB:
free -m
Output:
| total | used | free | shared | buff/cache | available | |
| Mem: | 7982 | 1096 | 4641 | 83 | 2244 | 6461 |
| Swap: | 1023 | 0 | 1023 |
Display RAM details with Units:
free -h
Output:
| total | used | free | shared | buff/cache | available | |
| Mem: | 7.8G | 1.0G | 4.6G | 83M | 2.2G | 6.3G |
| Swap: | 1.0G | 0B | 1.0G |
2. View Hard Disc Details
You can view RAM details if different units like KB, MB, GB or with the unit. The default is KB.
df -h
Output:
| Filesystem | Size | Used | Avail | Use% | Mounted on |
| udev | 3.9G | 0 | 3.9G | 0% | /dev |
| tmpfs | 799M | 8.6M | 790M | 2% | /run |
| /dev/xvda1 | 49G | 27G | 23G | 54% | / |
| tmpfs | 3.9G | 0 | 3.9G | 0% | /dev/shm |
| tmpfs | 5.0M | 0 | 5.0M | 0% | /run/lock |
You can view Total value by using:
df -h --total
To check hard disk memory used by and directory:
du -hs /path/to/directory
Output:
21G /var/www/
3. View Processor Details
cpuinfo provides all the information about the CPUs.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Output:
