If you are using Linux, you can install gnome-system-monitor and ssh -X on the system and start it.
For Ubuntu on GCP: "apt-get install gnome-system-monitor dbus"
From another Linux machine (or if you have cygwin / x installed on windows), simply "ssh -X {remote ip}" Then enter gnome-system-monitor and it will start on your desktop.
You can also configure vncserver on a cloud platform.
