View statistics on cloud server resource utilization

You can see cloud server load information in the form of graphs.

If the cloud server off the metrics aren't coming together.

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 control panel go to Cloud platform → Servers.
2. Open the server page → tab Statistics.
3. See what's available cloud server metrics.

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
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 no metrics are collected on the cloud server, add autoloading of kernel modules.

Debian-based OS

1. Connect to the server.

2. Open the file /etc/modules:

   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 file /etc/rc.modules:

   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.
