Server Monitoring

Depfloy can watch your server's CPU, memory, and disk usage and notify you when something crosses a threshold you set. The Monitoring screen on a server is where you turn this on, configure alerts, and review history.

Server monitoring requires the Business plan.

Install the monitoring agent

A small Depfloy agent runs on each monitored server to collect metrics. Install it once per server:

  1. Open the server in the Console and switch to Monitoring.
  2. Click Install Monitoring Agent.
  3. Wait a few minutes while Depfloy installs and starts the agent.

The agent samples CPU, memory, and disk every 5 minutes. The interval is fixed for now.

Configure alerts

Click Configure Monitoring Alerts to add alert rules. The available metrics are:

  • CPU usage — average across cores
  • RAM usage — used / total
  • Disk usage — used / total on the root partition

For each rule, set:

  • The threshold (for example, CPU above 80%)
  • How long the threshold must be sustained before alerting (so a short spike doesn't page you)
Monitoring alerts

Existing alert rules are listed at the bottom of the screen. From there you can disable or delete each one.

Monitoring alert list

Currently-firing alerts across all servers

The Console's Monitoring tab in the top bar shows every alert currently firing across the servers you have access to. It's the page you'd open if a teammate said "production looks weird right now" — at a glance you can see which servers are alarming and on which metric.

Each row links to:

  • The alert rule itself (so you can disable or adjust it)
  • The server's monitoring screen (so you can see history and other rules)

Notifications

When an alert triggers you receive an email by default. To also receive Slack or other channels, configure them under Settings → Notifications and enable Server Monitoring Alerts.

Who can see what

  • Anyone with access to a server can see its monitoring data and the list of alert rules — useful for read-only visibility.
  • Creating, editing, and deleting alert rules requires permission to update the server (Owner, Admin, Manager, or Developer roles — see Members).
