📊 Resmon Basics - QBCore Guide for FiveM
Introduction
This tutorial turns 📊 Resmon Basics into a clean, developer-friendly guide for QBCore/FiveM. You will follow a step-by-step flow, copy the relevant code patterns, and learn the “why” behind the setup.
Requirements
- QBCore installed and running on a dev server
- Basic Lua knowledge and comfort reading FiveM patterns
- A test workflow for iterating safely (dev server, not production)
- Optional: a code editor with Lua/FiveM helpers (VS Code recommended)

Code Example
resmon 1 # Enable real-time overlay in F8 console
resmon 0 # Disable overlay
resmon_save # Write current snapshot to resmon.json
resmon profile 60 # Record 60 seconds of detailed metricsTips & Best Practices
- Keep authority on the server: validate inputs before money/database operations.
- Start with one resource/module at a time, then refactor after you verify it works.
- Use callbacks for request/response flows and events for push/UX updates.
- When you run loops, avoid freezes: always yield with Wait() (client/server) and cache hot values.
What You Will Learn
This Optimization tutorial focuses on practical outcomes for FiveM scripting and QB Core development. By following the steps in 📊 Resmon Basics - QBCore Guide for FiveM, you will understand how the topic fits into a real server workflow and how to apply it safely.
You will learn the reasoning behind the implementation choices (especially for advanced topics), so you can make the same decisions again for future resources. The goal is to reduce trial-and-error, improve consistency across updates, and help your team ship changes without breaking gameplay.
- Identify the correct use case for this approach in a QB Core or FiveM environment
- Implement the key concepts with an install-ready workflow
- Validate compatibility and avoid common setup conflicts
- Apply best practices to keep your server stable over time
Why This Matters
When scripts, configs, and documentation are aligned with your server architecture, you reduce maintenance overhead. That means fewer upgrade surprises, faster onboarding for new admins, and a more reliable experience for your players.
