# Server Monitoring

> Keep your server healthy with real-time performance insights, resource graphs, and usage analytics.

## Live Metrics at a Glance

Your monitoring dashboard displays:

* **CPU Load:** Tracks server processing power usage.
* **Memory Usage (RAM):** Watch for memory saturation that may cause lag or crashes.
* **Disk Utilization:** See how much storage is left for backups, worlds, or data.
* **Network Throughput:** Monitor incoming/outgoing traffic trends.
* **Uptime Status:** Continuous tracking of your server’s operational time.

<Info>
  You can view data updates every few seconds — perfect for diagnosing spikes or bottlenecks.

## Accessing the Dashboard

1. Log in to your **Server Panel**.
2. Open your **Active Service**.
3. Go to the **Monitoring** section to view live resource graphs.

<Note>
  The graphs are automatically refreshed and don’t require manual reloads.

## Interpreting the Data

| Metric    | Normal Range   | Watch Out For                               |
| --------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| CPU Usage | 20–70%         | 90%+ sustained → possible overload          |
| RAM       | 30–80%         | 95%+ constant → upgrade or restart          |
| Disk      | \< 80%         | 90%+ → clean logs or expand storage         |
| Network   | Stable traffic | Sudden spikes → check DDoS or heavy plugins |

## Best Practices

* Check your dashboard **daily** — especially after installing plugins or mods.
* Use consistent monitoring to plan **when to scale your plan**.
* Export historical data for deeper analysis.
* Set up alerts (coming soon!) for critical thresholds.

<Tip>
  **Pro Tip:** Combine Monitoring with Auto Backup to keep performance data and recovery points aligned.

  LokaNode’s monitoring system uses secure, isolated data collectors — meaning your metrics stay private and are never shared externally.
