Infrastructure Details
See how your server is doing at a glance, with live CPU, memory, disk, and process stats.
The Infrastructure Details tab is your quick health check. Open it any time you want to see whether your server is busy, running low on memory, or close to filling up the disk. It refreshes by itself every couple of seconds, so the numbers you see are always fresh.
What you can do here
- See live CPU, memory, and disk usage at a glance.
- Spot the top 10 processes hogging CPU or memory.
- Free up cached memory in one click.
- Clean out old logs and temp files to reclaim disk space.
- Refresh the metrics manually whenever you want.
Open the Infrastructure Details tab
Open app → Click your server → Click the Infrastructure Details tab
You'll see three big circular gauges at the top, then a process table below. Numbers refresh on their own every 2 seconds while you stay on the tab.
Read the three stat cards
Each card uses a colour code that gets louder as the number climbs: green up to 60%, yellow at 60 to 80%, orange at 80 to 90%, red at 90% and up.
| Card | What it shows | Extra info below the gauge |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | CPU load as a percentage | System uptime and number of CPU cores |
| Memory | RAM in use as a percentage | Used GB out of total, available memory, swap usage |
| Storage | Root disk used as a percentage | Used out of total size, available space |
Read the top processes table
Below the gauges, the Top Processes table lists the 10 heaviest processes running right now.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| PID | The process ID number |
| Process | The command or program name |
| CPU % | CPU usage. On multi-core servers this can go above 100% (100% means one full core) |
| Memory % | RAM usage as a percentage of total |
Click any column header to sort by that field. The table holds the top 10 only, so very small background tasks don't appear.
Refresh the numbers
Numbers refresh on their own every 2 seconds. If you want to force an immediate update:
Click Refresh Metrics (top right of the tab)
You'll see a brief spinner on the button, then the gauges and process list update.
Free up cached memory
When the Memory card is high but you suspect a lot of it is just cached data Linux is hanging on to, you can release it.
Find the Clear Buffer/Cache icon
Memory card → Top right corner → Trash icon (purple)
Hover over it to see the tooltip "Clear Buffer/Cache".
Click the icon
A toast pops up at the bottom saying "Clearing buffer/cache memory..." with a spinner. There is no confirmation dialog, the action runs immediately.
Wait for the result
When it finishes you'll see "Buffer/cache memory cleared successfully". The Memory gauge updates to reflect the freed-up space.
Clearing the cache is safe. Linux uses spare RAM to speed up file reads, and it gives that memory back the moment a real program needs it. This action just releases the cache early.
Clean disk space
When the Storage card is creeping into orange or red, you can wipe out old logs and temp files.
Find the Clean Disk Space icon
Storage card → Top right corner → Trash icon (orange)
Hover for the tooltip "Clean Disk Space (Remove old logs & temp files)".
Click the icon
A toast appears: "Cleaning disk space..." with a spinner. Like cache clearing, this runs straight away with no confirmation.
Wait for the result
When it finishes you'll see "Disk space cleaned successfully". The Storage gauge drops by however much was reclaimed.
What this action removes:
- Log files older than 2 days
- Compressed log archives (
.gz) - Systemd journal entries older than 3 days
- Temporary files in
/tmpand/var/tmp - Package manager caches (
apt-get cleanoryum clean all, depending on your OS)
This permanently deletes the files listed above. If you need to keep older logs for audit or compliance reasons, copy them somewhere safe before running this.
Tips
Keep the Infrastructure Details tab open in a separate window during deploys or migrations. You'll spot a CPU or memory spike the moment it happens.
If a process is stuck consuming 100% CPU, note its PID from the table, then jump to the AI Terminal and run kill <PID> (or kill -9 <PID> if it ignores the polite version).
When the Storage card hits 90% red, clean the disk first. If it's still high, check the AI Terminal with du -sh /* 2>/dev/null | sort -h to find the biggest folders.
