Solution

  • Using htop seems to be a really good solution.

    colima ssh
    
    # Once inside
    # Update the dependencies
    sudo apt update
    
    # Install htop
    sudo apt install htop -y
    
    # run htop
    htop
    

    This gives a good interface to get the live CPU, Memory usage.
