Monitor

The monitor module is used to record and view server performance data, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network traffic.

Monitor Settings

Enable Monitoring

After turning on the Enable Monitoring switch, the system will periodically collect performance data.

Retention Days

Set the retention time for monitoring data, default is 30 days. Data exceeding the retention time will be automatically cleaned up.

Clear Monitor Records

Click the Clear Monitor Records button to manually clear all historical monitoring data.

Monitoring Metrics

Load Average

System load reflects the busyness of the CPU:

  • 1-minute load: Average load over the last 1 minute
  • 5-minute load: Average load over the last 5 minutes
  • 15-minute load: Average load over the last 15 minutes

Load value reference:

  • Load < CPU cores: System running smoothly
  • Load = CPU cores: System running at full capacity
  • Load > CPU cores: System overloaded, may experience lag

CPU Usage

Displays CPU usage percentage, including:

  • User mode usage
  • System mode usage
  • Idle rate

Memory Usage

Displays memory usage:

  • Used memory
  • Available memory
  • Cache/Buffer

Disk I/O

Displays disk read/write speed:

  • Read speed (KB/s or MB/s)
  • Write speed (KB/s or MB/s)

You can select the disk device to monitor.

Network Traffic

Displays network interface traffic:

  • Send speed
  • Receive speed

You can select the network interface to monitor.

Time Range

Each monitoring chart supports selecting a time range:

  • Yesterday: View yesterday's data
  • Today: View today's data
  • Last 7 days: View data from the last week
  • Custom: Select any time range

Use Cases

Performance Analysis

Analyze server performance bottlenecks through monitoring data:

  • Sustained high CPU load: Consider optimizing programs or upgrading CPU
  • Insufficient memory: Consider adding memory or optimizing memory usage
  • High disk I/O: Consider using SSD or optimizing database queries
  • Insufficient network bandwidth: Consider upgrading bandwidth

Troubleshooting

When problems occur, view historical monitoring data to locate the time and cause of the problem.

Capacity Planning

Based on historical data trends, predict future resource needs and plan for expansion in advance.

Notes

  • Monitoring data will occupy some disk space
  • The longer the retention days, the more space it occupies
  • It is recommended to set appropriate retention days based on actual needs
