# 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>Dashboard</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 usage</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. Volume usage</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. The list only includes projects the user has access to. For more information, see the [Managing access to metrics](/metrics/about/manage-access.mdx).

   4.2. In the **Location** field, select the [locations](/infrastructure/locations.mdx) where you want to view metrics. For more information about the service locations available, see the [Metrics availability in locations](/metrics/about/metrics-availability-by-location.mdx).

   4.3. Optional: select the variable values you want to display on the dashboard. By default, all values are selected.

   4.4. Optional: select a preset range or specify a period for which you need metrics. By default, the **1 day** period is selected.

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

   4.6. Click **Execute**.
