You can check the CPU usage in a Linux system by using the following command:

  1. To use the top command: Inputting the top command in the terminal allows you to view the CPU usage of individual processes in the system, as well as the overall CPU usage.
  2. By using the mpstat command, you can check the usage rate of each CPU core by entering the command in the terminal.
  3. By using the sar command, which stands for System Activity Reporter, you can view the usage of various system resources, including the CPU utilization.
  4. To use the vmstat command: Input the vmstat command into the terminal to view information such as the system’s virtual memory, swap space, and CPU usage.

These commands can assist you in monitoring the real-time CPU usage of the system, helping you to promptly identify and resolve issues with high CPU loads.
