Using the dashboard
The server list shows the latest resource values and when Cloud last heard from each server. Use the search and status filter to find a server, then click it to open details. An incident in Needs attention opens the affected server too.
Current values and history
The resource chart appears at the top of server details. Choose 4h, 24h, 7d, or 30d to change the history range. Recent history uses individual samples; longer ranges use averages and peaks.
Last sample shows the most recent CPU, memory, swap, and disk readings. The percentages below the chart follow the latest sample until you hover over an older point. During a hover, they describe that historical point; move the pointer away to return to the latest values.
CPU and memory also show an average in parentheses, such as (63.9% avg). This is the one-minute average used by alert detection. A brief CPU spike can reach 100% while that average remains much lower. Alert settings explains when an incident opens or clears.
History is retained at these resolutions:
| Age | Stored resolution |
|---|---|
| Last 4 hours | Individual samples |
| Up to 24 hours | Five-minute averages and peaks |
| Up to 30 days | Hourly averages and peaks |
Disks
Writable disks show each mount's used space and capacity. The disk percentage in the server list and chart uses the fullest monitored writable disk, which can be a different mount from /.
Read-only Snap and ISO images are excluded. Their filesystems normally report 100% use because they have a fixed size; they do not represent a writable disk running out of space.
Live processes
Opening server details requests the top five CPU and top five memory processes. The view refreshes about every 15 seconds while the window is open. It can take a heartbeat for the first results to arrive.
The CPU percentage is the process lifetime average reported by ps. Memory is the process's share of total RAM. These percentages can differ from the current whole-server CPU reading.
Cloud keeps this live process view briefly in memory. It is not saved to resource history or database backups. Closing the window stops requests; hidden browser tabs stop renewing them. Optional saved incident snapshots are configured separately on the agent and are off by default.
Server and account settings
Server settings opens a separate popup for renaming the server, managing agent updates, or removing its Cloud records. The agent management guide covers those actions.
