Server monitoring with clear source coverage
A Philippine office or data center may operate both physical servers and virtual guests. Choose the source that supplies the required measurements before setting thresholds. Keep hardware health, host resource pressure and guest observations separate when preparing a handover.
The operational problem
Host resource pressure and guest workload problems require different evidence. Disk allocation on a hypervisor cannot tell you the free space inside a virtual machine.
What you can monitor
Review CPU, memory, network and storage measurements from supported hypervisor or SNMP sources. Add Redfish for available physical server health.
What is included
- Supported CPU, memory, network and storage observations.
- Physical health readings when the hardware interface supplies them.
- Asset history and capacity context without inventing guest filesystem data.
Plan limits and optional services are shown on the pricing page.
Coverage and requirements
Linux and Windows Site Edge packages are collectors. They do not imply a universal guest-agent integration for every operating system.
A practical workflow
- Select the supported source for the physical or virtual server.
- Connect its authorized Site Edge and read-only identity.
- Review resource measurements and separately confirm guest filesystem coverage.
- Investigate sustained pressure in the capacity view.
How to set it up
- Identify whether the evidence will come from a hypervisor, SNMP profile or Redfish controller.
- Connect that source through a Site Edge and select the server or guest to monitor.
- Confirm the metric names, units and timestamps before using thresholds or reports.
Server review: host versus guest
Illustrative dashboard review of a guest reporting resource pressure.
- Host resources
- Check whether CPU or memory pressure affects the shared host.
- Guest resources
- Compare the guest observations with the host over the same period.
- Storage evidence
- Keep allocated capacity, datastore usage and reported guest free space separate.

Reports for the decision
Infrastructure and capacity reports preserve the distinction between host measurements and guest filesystem evidence.
