# View VDS server metrics

You can [view server metrics](#view-server-metrics) as graphs in the control panel.

If the VDS server [is turned off](/vds-servers/manage/manage-server.mdx#turn-off-server), metrics are not collected.

Values for all metrics are collected every minute. If you have just created a server, the first network interface and disk metric values will appear after a few minutes.

## View resource usage metrics \{#view-server-metrics}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/images/), on the top menu click **Products** and select **VDS servers**.

2. Open the server page → **Metrics** tab.

3. Optional: filter the metrics:

   3.1. Select a preset range or specify the period for which you need the metrics.

   3.2. Select **UTC time** or **Local time** for the displayed metric time.

4. View graphs of available [server metrics](#server-metrics).
