Viewing Statistics

summary

To better understand how server resources are used, you can access a variety of server information and statistical data (such as memory or traffic usage) right from the Plesk interface.

Learning about the current server resources’ usage

To learn about current CPU, RAM, swap, and disk space usage, visit the Server Information page. There, you can also see the number of domains hosted on the server that are “active” (domains that are online), “problems” (domains that are online, but have exceeded their disk space and/or bandwidth limits), and “inactive” (domains that are offline due to being suspended).

To learn about the current server resource usage:

1. Go to Tools & Settings > Server Information (under “Server Management”).

2. (Optional) Click Refresh to load the most up-to-date information.

   Note

   Up-to-date information is loaded every time you open this page. Clicking Refresh is only useful if the page has been open for a while, or if you are closely monitoring server resource usage.

Learning about disk space and traffic usage

To learn the number of resellers and customers on the server (both active and inactive), and also how much disk space and traffic is used in total by all domains hosted on the server, visit the Summary Report page.

To learn about disk space and traffic usage:

1. Go to Tools & Settings > Summary Report (under “Statistics”).
2. (Optional) To see a different report, select the desired report template from the drop-down menu.
