MONITOR CPU USAGE WITH SHELL LANGUAGE

Monitor your CPU usage in your Shell application

When developing a Shell application, it is essential to address performance considerations, as they play a crucial role in shaping the user experience. Performance issues are a common concern and can significantly impact the application's effectiveness. One of the most prevalent performance challenges faced by Shell applications is the occurrence of CPU-bound workloads. This situation arises when the application spends a significant amount of time waiting for the CPU to complete tasks.

In such instances, it becomes imperative to monitor the CPU usage of your Shell application and establish a tracking system to detect when the usage surpasses predefined thresholds. This approach ensures continuous awareness of your application's performance. In cases of performance degradation, such as when CPU usage exceeds specified thresholds, immediate action can be taken to rectify the issue before it escalates.

Thankfully, Palzin Track offers an effective solution to address these concerns. Palzin Track is a potent real-time event tracking tool that seamlessly integrates with Shell. With Palzin Track, you have the flexibility to set up event tracking for various aspects of your Shell application, including real-time monitoring of CPU usage. Furthermore, you can configure alert rules to promptly notify you and your team when CPU usage crosses designated thresholds. This proactive monitoring approach ensures that you remain well-informed about your application's performance and enables you to take swift action as required.
