Metrics Reference

This instruction describes the product metrics collected by the service.

The list of products that support metrics will be expanded.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated server namespace – dedicated.

Monitoring is supported by servers with a KVM console, which is available for every dedicated server, except for servers of the Chipcore line and servers in a dedicated rack — learn more on the Servers in a dedicated rack page on servercore.com.

The set of IPMI metrics may differ depending on the server model.

Each metric transmits a timestamp — the time the metric was collected. You can convert the value using online services, for example, on the unixtimestamp.com.

Cloud servers

Cloud server namespace – compute.

Metrics are collected at the hypervisor level. Metrics from the hypervisor side and metrics inside the cloud server OS may differ in values:

  • hypervisor metrics reflect the physical state of cloud servers and their resources — CPU, memory, disks, and network, including disk and network operation maintenance work and virtual machine service operations;
  • in-OS metrics reflect only computations seen by the OS kernel and do not take background work into account.

Under high disk or network load, metric values may differ — this is expected behavior for a virtualized environment, not a metric collection error.

Metric collection does not depend on the OS state. Metrics are collected even if the cloud server is booting, is under high load, or is unresponsive over the network. Metrics are not collected only when the cloud server is turned off.
