As always "it depends". On my workstation, usually one of the "new" fancy
top-like monitoring things like bottom
<https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom> or btop
<https://github.com/aristocratos/btop>. Sometimes I'll use a wild dstat (or
its successor, dool <https://github.com/scottchiefbaker/dool> ) command
line.

Here's <https://imgur.com/a/wF4SUG8> some screenshots of them that I just
took on my laptop.

For longer term monitoring I also use the open source Telegraf
<https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/> agent to send metrics to InfluxDB
<https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb> or, more recently I've been using
axiom-cli <https://github.com/axiomhq/cli> to send enormous amounts of
data to Axiom <https://app.axiom.co/>. Axiom has a rather funky dashboard
and query language. Of all the things I mentioned, Axiom is the only
non-free SAAS solution. Everything else is open source.

Cheers,
Al.
