Gandi provides you with 2 ways of viewing your server's statistics: through a graphic interface and a text interface.

This interface is located directly on your instance's control panel.

It provides you with information concerning processor, disk, and network usage. You can adjust the timescale to be hourly, daily, or monthly.

This is the percentage of usage of your server's processor (on a scale from 0 to 100). You will also find, along the bottom of the graph, the minimum, maximum, and current values.

The disk graph contains 2 distinct values:

• display in kilobytes per second (kB/s)

In this graph, displayed by default, the 0 axis is in the middle and is horizontal. The values above that axis are for disk reading operations in kB/s, while those below are for disk writing operations in kB/s. You will also find, along the bottom of the graph, the minimum, maximum, and current values expressed in kB/s.

• display in percentage

This is in function of the maximum % of reading or writing speed (2 different graphs) that the graph displays, with the 0 axis on the bottom. You will also find, along the bottom of the graph, the minimum, maximum, and current values expressed in %.

Like the disk, the network graphic has 2 separate values:

• display in kilobits per second (kb/s)

In this graph, displayed by default, the 0 axe is horizontal and in the middle. The values above it are outgoing traffic in kb/s while the values below the 0 axe are incoming traffic in kb/s. You will also find, along the bottom of the graph, the minimum, maximum, and current values expressed in kb/s.

• display in percentage

This is in function of the maximum % of reading or writing speed (2 different graphs) that the graph displays, with the 0 axis on the bottom. You will also find, along the bottom of the graph, the minimum, maximum, and current values expressed in %.

This one is not really an interface, in the sense that you cannot interact with it. It is better described as a collection of pages that give you information about the processes that are running or on your storage capacity.

This information is complementary and different than what is provided by the graphic interfaces which are accessible via your instance's administration page. The administration page of your instance is accessible via your instance's control panel at Gandi or directly at the url, xxxxxx.admin.dc0.gpaas.net, where xxxxxx is replaced by the unique number of your instance.

The Disk section will tell you the total storage space available for your instance, as well as the space that is still available.

In the Apache section, it is the Apache status link that will provide you with the statistics concerning the use of Apache, with many indicators commonly used by system administrators.

Some of the more useful statistics can be found on the first part of the first page:

• Server uptime: This is the time that has passed since the last reboot of the server (in our example, the server has been "up" for 2 days, 18 hours, 35 minutes, and 17 seconds).
• Total accesses: The total number of accesses since the server's starting (in our example, only 107 accesses have occurred).
• Total Traffic: The total traffic delivered by the server since its starting (in our example, 970 kB have been delivered).
• CPU Usage: This is the amount of processor use based on a total of 100%. If the value is below 1%, then 0 is not expressed, and you see a value like .0433% then you know that you have a very low CPU use.
