View statistics on cloud server resource utilization

You can see the statistics of cloud server resource utilization in the form of a graph in the control panel.

If the cloud server is down, metrics are not collected.

Values for all metrics are collected every 5 minutes. If you have just created a server, the first metric values for network interfaces and disks will appear after 10 minutes.

View resource utilization statistics⁠

1. In the dashboard, on the top menu, click Products and select Cloud Servers.

2. Open the server page → Statistics tab.

3. Check out the available cloud server metrics.

4. If no metrics are collected on the cloud server, add autoloading of VirtiO core modules.

Cloud server metrics in the control panel⁠

CPU	How many percent of the cloud server vCPUs are utilized
Memory	Occupied RAM excluding cache and operating system buffers in gigabytes
Disk	Disk load (read and write) in bytes or operations per second (IOPS)
Network	Inbound and outbound traffic in bits or packets per second

Add autoloading of VirtIO kernel modules⁠

To collect statistics, VirtIO drivers must be installed on the cloud server. In modern Linux distributions, VirtIO drivers are installed by default.

If some cloud server load metrics are not being collected, add autoloading of VirtIO kernel modules.

Debian-based OS

1. Connect to the server.

2. Open the /etc/modules file in the nano text editor:

   nano /etc/module

3. Add Modules:

   virtio_blk
   virtio_scsi
   virtio_balloon
   virtio_net

4. Perform a programmatic reboot of the server. The modules will start automatically.

RedHat-based OS

1. Connect to the server.

2. Open the /etc/rc.modules file in the nano text editor:

   nano /etc/rc.modules

3. Add Modules:

   modprobe virtio
   modprobe virtio_net
   modprobe virtio_balloon
   modprobe virtio_scsi
   modprobe virtio_blk

4. Perform a programmatic reboot of the server. The modules will start automatically.
