Metrics Live & Historical

Elestio provides two types of server metrics to help you monitor your services effectively.

You can find metrics inside your service dashboard's Metrics tab.

You can switch between Live and Historical modes using the toggle at the top of the Metrics tab.

Live Metrics

Live metrics give you a real-time view of your server's performance. This mode streams data directly to your dashboard, allowing you to observe CPU usage, memory consumption, network activity, and disk operations as they happen. It's ideal for debugging issues in the moment or keeping an eye on a deployment in progress.

Historical Metrics

Historical metrics let you look back at your server's performance over a chosen time range: 6 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, or 31 days. The following charts are available:

CPU Usage: Processor utilization over time
Memory Usage: RAM consumption over time
Disk I/O: Read and write throughput (KB/s)
Network Bytes: Inbound and outbound data transfer
Network Packets: Inbound and outbound packets per second.

Please note that Historical metrics are not supported for Scaleway and BYOVM providers.

Provider Notes

Metric availability may vary depending on your cloud provider. For example, Vultr only exposes bandwidth data through its API. CPU, memory, and disk metrics are not available. Vultr's bandwidth data is also updated periodically and grouped by full UTC calendar day, so recent intervals may take some time to appear, and scaleway only supports live metrics, not historical.
