I have validated total/usage with the command: free m Is it reliable as charts within hosting system shows CPU utilization as very low percentage? As I understand it should show also inside CPU Utilization chart if it is high percentage and it is based on timestamp when a command is executed?

  free -m command doesn't show you the CPU usage. It only shows memory as "-m" means "--memory". You can install top or "htop" which will show you both the actual CPU and RAM usage which is the best wait to monitor these resources.

  Is there also a paid version which is more graphical friendly without any Linux code and monitor also past processes?
