View system dashboards

System dashboards are pre-built dashboards with metrics for Selectel products and services available in the control panel. System dashboards cannot be customized, but you can filter their data.

Available dashboards

Three system dashboards are available for cloud servers.

DashboardDescription
Cloud serversCloud servers. Average usage

Displays:

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

Metrics are aggregated across selected servers into a single value without breakdown by individual server. You can evaluate the overall load on a group of servers, for example within one project, without analyzing metrics for each server separately

Cloud servers. Detailed usage

Displays CPU, memory, network, and disk metrics 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 where metrics differ from the others

Cloud servers. Volume usage

Displays for each cloud server disk:

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

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