Server Overview

Introduction

The Overview page is the landing page for a server. It gives you a quick health check at a glance: any alerts that need attention, basic monitoring stats, recent activity, and the common server actions.

Monitoring stats

At the top of the page Vito shows summary cards for the server's core resources:

  • CPU Load
  • Memory Usage
  • Disk Usage

Each card reflects the latest collected metric and links through to the Monitoring page, where you can see the full history and more detailed charts.

Monitoring stats are collected by the Vito agent on the server. If the agent is not installed or is out of date, some stats may be empty.

Recent logs

Below the stats, the Overview lists the server's most recent logs (provisioning steps, service actions, and other operations Vito has run). The full history is available on the Logs page.

Server actions

The actions menu in the top right of the server pages gives you quick access to common operations:

  • Check connection - re-checks that Vito can reach the server over SSH and updates its status.
  • Restart - reboots the server.
  • Check for updates - asks the server how many OS package updates are pending.
  • Update - installs the pending OS package updates. This is only available when updates are available.

Server alerts

Vito surfaces server alerts to flag conditions that need your attention. They appear at the top of the server's pages and on the servers listing, and each includes a call to action so you can resolve it quickly. Alerts update in real time and clear automatically once the underlying condition is resolved.

The following alerts can appear:

Restart required

Shown when the kernel or a critical package has been updated and the server needs a reboot to complete the upgrade. Provides a Restart action.

Package updates available

Shown when the server has pending OS package updates. It includes the number of updates and provides an Update action to install them.

If Check for updates or Update fails with an APT error about a repository changing its Label (or Origin/Suite/Version) value, see PHP › Troubleshooting — the same underlying issue also affects PHP installs, and the fix there resolves both.
