Monitoring

How to monitor server resources

~1 min read

The monitoring page shows live CPU, RAM, disk, and network graphs for your server, plus configurable email alerts when usage crosses a threshold.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Monitoring

    Open your server and click "Monitoring" in the sidebar.

  2. 2

    Read the live graphs

    Graphs for CPU usage, RAM consumption, disk usage, network I/O, and disk I/O load automatically and update every few seconds.

  3. 3

    Switch the time range

    Use the time selector (1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days) to zoom out and see historical trends. Useful for identifying daily usage spikes.

  4. 4

    Configure alert thresholds

    Scroll down to "Alert Settings". Enter a CPU threshold (e.g. 85), a RAM threshold (e.g. 90), and a disk threshold (e.g. 85). Enter your email address and click "Save".

  5. 5

    Review alert history

    The "Alert History" panel shows past alerts with timestamps. Use this to understand when and how often your server hits resource limits.

Watch out

  • Alert emails go to the email address you enter in Alert Settings — make sure it's correct and check spam if you don't receive test alerts.

Tips

  • A good starting configuration: CPU alert at 85%, RAM at 90%, Disk at 85%.
  • Sustained high CPU (hours, not spikes) usually means a runaway process or insufficient server size.
  • Disk usage creeping up over time usually means logs, session files, or database dumps are not being cleaned up.
