Real Newtata measurements · automatic refreshGuide contents
Before you begin
- A real delivered Cloud VPS.
- Measurements available from the provider for the selected period.
Open charts#
- Open the VPS, then Metrics.
- Choose Live, 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days.
- Use All charts, CPU, Disk and Network filters to choose displayed components.
- Hover or touch a chart to read measurements. Click a legend series to hide or restore it; its latest value stays displayed.
- Open View latest values for a table of the last ten points in each visible series.
- Pause retains received charts and stops automatic refresh. Resume reloads and restarts periodic collection. Refresh charts performs a manual read even while paused.
Periods and refresh#
Measurements may arrive with provider delay. Last retrieved indicates response freshness, not guaranteed instantaneous measurements. Chart times use browser time zone; multi-day periods include the date. Polling pauses when the page is hidden.
Changing period loads a new measurement window even when automatic refresh is paused. Filters and legends do not change the VPS.
| Period | Requested resolution | Display refresh |
|---|---|---|
| Live · 5 minutes | 5 seconds | Every 10 seconds |
| 1 hour | 60 seconds | Every 60 seconds |
| 24 hours | 5 minutes | Every 60 seconds |
| 7 days | 30 minutes | Every 60 seconds |
Understand charts#
Disks and interfaces appear when present in provider responses. Throughput units adapt to values: bytes/s, kB/s, MB/s or GB/s.
| Chart | Measurement |
|---|---|
| CPU | Processor usage. One vCPU equals 100%; a multi-vCPU machine may exceed 100%. |
| Disk throughput | Data read and written per second. |
| Disk operations | Read and write operation counts per second, in IOPS. |
| Network throughput | Incoming and outgoing data per second. |
| Network packets | Packets received and sent per second. |
Missing measurements and limits#
Used RAM, swap and filesystem usage are not supplied by this metrics API. They require a monitoring agent inside the VPS; the portal installs no agent automatically.
A simulated machine shows no fake charts. If Newtata returns no points, the screen says no measurements are available. On interruption, last measurements remain visible with an error: refresh before treating them as current.
