Metrics Reference

Last update:

This instruction describes the product metrics collected by the service.

The list of products that support metrics will be expanded.

Dedicated Servers

Monitoring is supported by servers with a KVM console, which is available for every dedicated server, except for the Chipcore product line servers and servers in a dedicated rack — see more on the Servers in a Dedicated Rack page on selectel.ru.

The set of IPMI metrics may differ depending on the server model.

Each metric contains a timestamp — the time the metric was collected. You can convert the value using online services, for example, on the website unixtimestamp.com.

Cloud servers

Metrics are collected at the hypervisor level and reflect the physical state of cloud servers and their resources — CPU, memory, disks, and network. Metric collection does not depend on the state of the guest OS. Metrics are collected even if the cloud server is booting, is under high load, or is not responding over the network. Metrics are not collected only when the cloud server is turned off.

Cloud server namespace – compute.
