# System dashboards

System dashboards are preconfigured dashboards containing metrics for Selectel products and services.

## Available dashboards \{#available-dashboards}

Three system dashboards are available for [cloud servers](/cloud-servers/).

<CustomTable>
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th />

        <th>Graph</th><th>Description</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>

    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th rowspan="3">Cloud servers</th><td>Cloud servers average usage</td>

        <td>
          Displays:

          * average CPU, memory, network, and disk performance indicators for the selected cloud servers;
          * number of servers and their statuses (`running`, `paused`, `shut_off`, and others).

          Metrics are aggregated by selected servers into a single value without breakdown by individual server. You can estimate the overall load on a group of servers, for example, from one project, without analyzing the performance indicators of each server separately
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>Cloud servers detailed</td>

        <td>
          Displays CPU, memory, network, and disk performance indicators separately for each selected cloud server. Each server has its own line on the graph.

          You can compare the load between servers and find a specific server that has different performance indicators from the others
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>Cloud servers disks</td>

        <td>
          Displays the following for each cloud server disk:

          * read and write speed in IOPS and bytes per second;
          * disk cache flush speed.

          Suitable for diagnosing disk subsystem performance to determine which specific disk is creating the main read or write load

## View dashboard \{#open-dashboard}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/observability/default/dashboard), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Metrics**.

2. Go to the **Dashboards** section → **System Dashboards** tab.

3. Open the dashboard page.

4. Configure the dashboard filters:

   4.1. In the **Source** field, select the projects whose metrics you want to view. Only projects to which the user has access are available in the list. More details can be found in the [Managing access to metrics](/metrics/manage-access.mdx) section.

   4.2. In the **Location** field, select the [locations](/infrastructure/locations.mdx) you want to view metrics for. For more information about available locations for the service, see the [Metrics](/infrastructure/availability-matrix.mdx#metrics) subsection of the [Availability Matrix](/infrastructure/availability-matrix.mdx) guide.

   4.3. Optional: select the variable values you want to display on the dashboard. All values are selected by default.

   4.4. Optional: select a pre-defined range or specify the period for which you need metrics. The **1 day** period is selected by default.

   4.5. Optional: select **UTC** or **Local time** for the displayed metric time.

   4.6. Click **Run**.
