Server Statistics - DigitalFyre Knowledge Base

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.
