Statistics and Graphs

The VirtFusion panel includes historical resource graphs, useful to understand server load trends and identify anomalies.

Access Statistics

1. Access VirtFusion panel
2. Select your server
3. Go to Graphs or Statistics

Available Graphs

CPU

Shows CPU usage percentage over time. Constantly high usage (>80%) indicates server under excessive load.

What to look for:

• Sudden spikes → anomalous processes or attacks
• Constantly at 100% → need upgrade or optimization
• Normal usage with regular peaks → scheduled cron job or backup

RAM

Shows memory used vs total available.

Note: High RAM usage isn't necessarily problem: Linux uses free RAM as cache. Problem appears when server starts using swap. Guide: High CPU or RAM

Network

Shows inbound (download) and outbound (upload) traffic over time.

What to look for:

• Anomalous outbound traffic → possible compromised server or misconfiguration
• Very high inbound traffic → potential DDoS attack

Disk (I/O)

Shows read and write operations on disk over time.

What to look for:

• I/O constantly at max → database or apps writing too much, disk nearly saturated
• Regular nightly spikes → normal if you have scheduled backups

Time Intervals

Usually can select different time ranges:

• 1 hour: detailed recent view
• 24 hours: daily trend
• 7 days: weekly trend
• 30 days: monthly view

Graphs Don't Show Data

If graphs are empty or not updating:

• Server must be on and running to collect data
• Data updates at regular intervals (usually 1-5 minutes)
• Newly reinstalled server will have empty graphs until enough data collected

Real-Time Monitoring

Panel graphs show historical data. For real-time resource monitoring inside server, use:

htop        # CPU and RAM in real-time
iotop       # Disk I/O per process
nethogs     # Network traffic per process
