Welcome to the forums; there are many Linux monitoring programs. Open a console and enter top to get basic information about all running processes. KDE’s system monitor will you a graphical representation of CPU and memory use.

Indeed, just entering ‘monitor’ in YaST>Software Management should give you a list of moritoring programs and tell you which are already installed.

welcome (i see this is your first post)

but, when you write “a good suse monitoring application” i wonder a few
things:

if you mean a GUI application
if you are running SUSE Linux Enterprise or openSUSE
are you running a server you want to email you when things go sour
how handy you are at a *nix command line

and depending on the answers to those, one (or all) of these might be
helpful, or not:

top
atop
ntop
htop
last
ps
free

maybe coupled with WebMin…

and, by the way, “suse 11 sp1” is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version
11 (aka: SLES 11), and the folks you need to ask about that is over in
the forums at forums.novell.com, we here are all about openSUSE, which
is different from the commercial product and therefore you might get
some wrong answers from here…

at the very least, you need to put SLES 11 in your subject line so it
will attract helper folks who are familiar with both SLES and openSUSE…
