View statistics on cloud server resource utilization

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

If the cloud server is turned off, 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 in 10 minutes.

View resource utilization statistics⁠

1. In Control Panel, go to Cloud Platform → Servers.
2. Open the server page → Statistics tab.
3. Check out the available cloud server metrics.

Cloud server metrics in the control panel⁠

CPU	How many percent the cloud server cores are loaded
Memory	Occupied RAM, excluding cache and operating system buffers, in gigabytes
Disk	Disk load (reads and writes) in bytes or operations per second
Network	Inbound and outbound traffic in bits or packets per second

Add autoloading of VirtIO kernel modules⁠

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

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

Debian-based ОС

1. Connect to server.

2. Open the /etc/modules file:

   nano /etc/module

3. Add Modules:

   virtio_blk
   virtio_scsi
   virtio_balloon
   virtio_net

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

Redhat-based ОС

1. Connect to server.

2. Open the /etc/rc.modules file:

   nano /etc/rc.modules

3. Add Modules:

   modprobe virtio
   modprobe virtio_net
   modprobe virtio_balloon
   modprobe virtio_scsi
   modprobe virtio_blk

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