Understanding the server overview page

~2 min read

The server overview is your at-a-glance dashboard for a single server. It shows live resource usage, installed stack details, quick actions, and the health of all running services.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open a server

    From the Servers list, click on any server card. You land on the server overview page.

  2. 2

    Read the resource summary

    The top row shows four stat cards: CPU usage (%), RAM usage (used / total), Disk usage (used / total), and server uptime. These update every 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Check the stack status

    The Stack panel shows which web server (Nginx or Apache), PHP version, database engine (MySQL/MariaDB), and optional services (Redis, Memcached, Node.js) are installed. If the stack has not been installed yet, you see an "Install Stack" prompt instead.

  4. 4

    Review services health

    The Services panel lists each installed service with a green (running) or red (stopped/failed) indicator. Click "Restart" next to any service directly from the overview without navigating to the Services page.

  5. 5

    Use quick actions

    The Quick Actions section provides one-click buttons: Reboot Server, Run OS Updates, and Clear OPcache. Each shows a confirmation dialog before executing.

  6. 6

    Navigate to sub-sections

    The sidebar on the left lists all server sections: Applications, Databases, SSL, SSH Keys, Services, Cron Jobs, Firewall, Fail2Ban, Supervisor, Diagnosis, Monitoring, Logs, Backups, and Terminal.

Watch out

  • "Reboot Server" causes a brief outage (usually 30–60 seconds). Notify users before rebooting a production server.

Tips

  • Bookmark the overview URL for each server — it's your fastest way back to the server health summary.
  • If CPU or RAM shows high usage, jump to Monitoring for historical graphs, or Terminal to run `top` to identify the culprit process.
