Which MikroTik command provides CPU and memory usage information?

• A. /system resource print
• B. /system resource monitor
• C. /system hardware print
• D. /system health print

Answer: (A)

To see CPU and memory usage information on MikroTik devices, use the command that prints current resource values. The correct one is /system resource print, which gives a one-shot snapshot of the system resources, including CPU usage and memory figures (free and total memory), along with uptime and other basic details. This makes it the best choice for quickly checking how heavily the device is using its CPU and RAM at a given moment. If you need continuous watching, the monitor variant provides real-time updates, but it's more about tracking trends than a single read. Hardware print focuses on device specifications rather than current usage, and health print covers broader diagnostics rather than the straightforward usage numbers.
