Monitoring
The Monitoring section provides visibility into the operational metrics of a running cloud instance. It enables users to observe system performance and resource utilisation in near real-time.
Monitoring helps identify performance bottlenecks, detect abnormal activity, and ensure that workloads are operating within expected resource limits.
The monitoring dashboard provides graphical metrics for the following resources:
Memory Usage
CPU Utilization
Network Activity
Disk IOPS
Disk Throughput
These metrics assist users in understanding workload behaviour and making decisions such as scaling or optimising the instance configuration.
Access Monitoring
To view monitoring metrics for an instance:
Log in to the NeevCloud Dashboard.
Navigate to CLOUD→ Servers.
Select the required Cloud Instance.
Click on Monitoring in the left-side menu.
The monitoring page will display graphical metrics for the selected time range.
Available Metrics
Memory Metrics
Displays the memory consumption of the instance over time.
This helps identify:
High memory utilization
Potential memory exhaustion
Memory-intensive applications
CPU Metrics
Displays CPU usage of the instance.
This helps determine:
CPU load patterns
Overutilized workloads
When scaling, CPU resources may be required.
Network Metrics
Displays incoming and outgoing network activity.
This includes:
Network utilization
Traffic spikes
Network performance trends
Disk IOPS Metrics
Displays disk input/output operations per second.
This metric helps identify:
Storage performance
High disk activity
I/O bottlenecks
Disk Throughput Metrics
Displays disk read/write throughput over time.
This helps analyse:
Data transfer rates
Storage workload patterns
Disk performance efficiency.
Monitoring Time Range
Users can select a time window to analyse performance data.
Common options include:
Last 1 hour
Last 6 hours
Last 12 hours
Last 24 hours
This enables users to investigate both short-term and historical performance behaviour.
When Metrics Are Not Available
In some cases, monitoring charts may show "No metrics available".
This may occur if:
The instance has been recently created.
The instance is powered off.
Monitoring data has not yet been collected.
Once the instance begins generating workload activity, metrics will appear automatically.
Best Practices
To effectively monitor your instances:
Regularly review CPU and memory usage.
Monitor disk I/O for storage-heavy workloads.
Check network metrics when running data-intensive applications.
Use monitoring insights before performing a Rescale operation.
