System Monitoring

Overview​

The System Monitoring Dashboard provides real-time visibility into server health and performance metrics. It presents live data across CPU, memory, disk, network traffic, and active processes in a unified interface, enabling administrators to detect issues, track trends, and maintain system stability.

Navigation: Dashboard >> Server Health >> System Monitoring system monitoring

The dashboard supports both live monitoring and historical views. Data can be viewed for the last 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours by selecting the desired duration from the dropdown. To switch to real-time monitoring, simply click the Live button.

1. Processor​

Displays hardware information about the server's CPU along with real-time load averages to indicate how busy the processor is over different time windows.

  • Processor model and name
  • Number of CPU cores
  • Load average over the last 1 minute
  • Load average over the last 5 minutes
  • Load average over the last 15 minutes
  • Status indicator (e.g., Low, Moderate, High) for each load average reading

2. Memory​

Shows how much RAM is currently in use versus what is available, along with swap memory status.

  • Total installed memory (RAM)
  • Amount of memory currently in use
  • Memory usage as a percentage
  • Swap memory used
  • Swap memory available
  • Visual usage bar for quick at-a-glance assessment

3. System Info​

Provides static, read-only information about the server's operating environment and how long it has been running without a restart.

  • Operating system name and version
  • System architecture
  • Kernel version
  • Server uptime (days, hours, minutes)

4. Top Processes​

Lists the processes consuming the most CPU and memory resources at any given moment, helping identify runaway or resource-intensive tasks.

  • Process name
  • User running the process
  • CPU usage percentage
  • Memory usage (in MB or GB)
  • Process runtime duration

5. CPU Usage Chart​

A live time-series graph showing CPU utilization over a rolling 5-minute period, useful for spotting spikes or sustained high usage.

  • CPU utilization percentage over time
  • 5-minute rolling window
  • Real-time updates

6. Load Average Chart​

A time-series visualization of the server's load average, helping administrators understand workload trends beyond the current moment.

  • Load average trend over time
  • Comparison across 1m, 5m, and 15m intervals

7. Memory Usage Chart​

A graphical view of memory consumption over time, useful for identifying memory leaks or gradual growth in usage.

  • Used vs. available memory over time
  • Real-time updates

8. Disk Usage​

Shows how much storage space is being used across the server's mounted drives or partitions.

  • Disk usage percentage per partition or volume
  • Used and available storage space

9. Web Traffic​

Tracks the volume of incoming web requests and the amount of bandwidth being consumed by the server.

  • Number of HTTP/HTTPS requests over time
  • Bandwidth usage (inbound and outbound)

10. Live Connections​

Displays the number of active network connections to the server at any point in time.

  • Total count of live connections
  • Real-time updates
