Monitoring and Resource Management in a Cloud Server with SWPanel

1. Introduction

The performance of a Cloud server is key to serving the content of your Hosting, guaranteeing its stability and optimising its operation. Detecting irregularities is essential to avoid affecting its performance. In this manual, we will show you how to visualise and manage the resources of your Cloud server using SWPanel.

2. Monitor System Processes

In the Main Dashboard of your SWPanel account, use the search engine to locate your Cloud server. Once located, click on its name.

Then go to Service usage → System Processes.

In this section, you will be able to consult two options: System resources and System processes of your Cloud server.

2.1. System Resources

This allows you to see the use of your server's CPU, RAM, SWAP and system tasks. By default, it is updated every 30 seconds, but you can modify this time according to your needs. You also have the Refresh now button to update the data manually.

2.2. Cloud System Processes

This option allows you to see the running programmes that perform essential tasks on the server, such as the Apache web service, the database engine or the Kernel.

You can filter the processes by owner user to monitor the CPU and RAM usage of a particular user, such as the usuario bd.

If you place the cursor over the [...] menu to the right of each process, you can view details of the process or kill the process.

3. Process Management Options

3.1. View Details of a Process

You can consult information such as process user, execution time and PID.

3.2. Kill a Process

This action ends the execution of the selected process. A red Kill button will appear to the left of the process to be eliminated. You can click on it or deactivate it from General actions.

Before proceeding, SWPanel will display a notification with details of the process to be deleted. To confirm, click on Yes, delete.
