Press enter on the first option to enter the system category in the tool. This part deals with system information and the system load of your server.

System info shows information about your distro and node, which is crucial from a security point of view. SPOs should be updated with all new releases. These releases can contain important security updates and if not updated they can be exploited by bad actors. Furthermore, the tool displays information about the available RAM and Disk size. It should be:

  • Operating system: 64-bit Linux (i.e. Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS)

  • Processor: An Intel or AMD x86 processor with two or more cores, at 2GHz or faster

  • Memory: 12GB of RAM

  • Storage: 50GB of free storage

The second part of this category is system load. It is a quick and easy way to detect any discrepancies in the network. As server load is crucial to ensure smooth working of the node.
