Managed Cloud Server: monitoring

This guide explains how to display the monitoring data (network statistics, CPU, RAM, etc.) for a managed Cloud Server.

Monitoring the activity of a managed Cloud Server

1. Open the Manager (https://manager.infomaniak.com)
2. Go to Cloud Server
3. If necessary, click the server to be monitored
4. Click Monitoring in the left side menu

Various data are available to monitor the activity of your managed Cloud Servers, including:

• incoming and outgoing traffic (network)
• the system load average
• the CPU load average
• the quantity of RAM used
• the disk space used
• the number of hits / sec.
• the average MySQL queries made

Interpreting the statistics

By interpreting the monitoring data of Cloud Server resources, you can estimate the resources (power) you need to operate your websites and applications.

Total system load

The total system load summarizes the level of use of the virtual processors as a percentage. In this example, the server thus uses less than 10% of its resources (0.10).

Processor (CPU) and memory (RAM)

These graphs show that less than 10% of the virtual processors are used and less than 3 GB of RAM are actually exploited. In this example, the configuration of this server is over-sized compared to its real needs.
