I know there are threads here concerning this sort of thing, but gets confusing and some are not an easy install just to see if it will function as desired.
so what I am looking for is a browser based server monitor that will list the users, their CPU, memory, database, bandwidth, etc, usage in real time.
I would like it to run only when called so as not to add any additional stress to the server, and if there is a "server monitor for dummies" I would like to use it
Thanks for your help and support, it is much appreciated :)
 
Im sure there are programs out there for something like that. You will have to search google.
 
Why would you link the worse project ever? He wanted per user stats not total server stats. If you want total server stats then use cacti, mrtg or something munin is crap.
 
I am not really sure there is a ready made "something" to help you out with that. If you really need this then you will have to do a lot of work.

Ooh, and don't forget you will need to run PHP as cgi then you will be able to see what user is killing your CPU.
The same you can do with MySQL, log in to phpMyAdmin and look at the ProcessList, or as an alternative you can log queries that slow's down your server by adding:

Code: 
log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log
 
thanks, but I have to agree with scsi, mostly...
I do use the ProcessList to view things, but you are saying that I need to have php5 as cgi to get better results?
then this new log will only work if php5 is run in cgi... as of now there is nothing that will write there even if the file were present?
 
Found something, anyone have any input?
Munin as seen here
Preview on Minin itself here
a plugin called "cpubyuser", from MuninExchange seen here

Ive tried it dont really like it much...its very confusing to use.
 
I'm using munin with lots of customized plugins from MuninExchange.
I used to run Nagios, Cacti and MRTG but munin is much faster and fits well my needs. Of course it's also slightly less versatile and without some knowledge of shell and perl scripting quite difficult to configure or customize.

I'm going to try Zenoss next time.

Since my server is served for web sharing hosting. Each of my client will not has a ssh access but ftp access.

Then how to define by user ?
