The Client Portal displays real-time resource usage for your VPS through live gauges and a bandwidth graph. Use these to monitor server health and identify when an upgrade may be needed.
Resource Gauges
| Gauge | What It Shows |
|---|
| CPU | Percentage of allocated CPU cores currently in use |
| Memory | RAM consumption relative to your plan’s allocation |
| Disk | Storage used versus your plan’s disk allocation |
| Bandwidth | Data transfer used during the current billing period |
Interpreting the Gauges
| Metric | Normal | Worth Monitoring | Action Needed |
|---|
| CPU | Under 50% | 50–80% sustained | Above 80% sustained |
| Memory | Varies | Swap usage appearing | Constant swap usage |
| Disk | Under 70% | 70–85% | Above 85% |
| Bandwidth | Under 60% | 60–80% | Above 80% |
Linux uses available memory for disk caching, so memory usage appearing high is normal. The concern is when swap usage is significant, which indicates genuine memory pressure.
Bandwidth Graph
Below the gauges, a bandwidth graph visualises inbound and outbound traffic over time. This helps identify traffic spikes, peak usage periods, and usage trends across your billing period.
If any gauge is consistently in the action-needed range, consider upgrading your plan. See Upgrading Your VPS.
