Have you tried to use 'top' command? If you use Plesk, click "Statistics" and Locate the "CPU" item on the screen. A percentage number will be displayed, containing the amount of CPU load.

You can also use Munin, using Munin you can easily monitor the performance of your computers, networks, SANs, applications, weather measurements and whatever comes to mind.
