Your Cloudways plan has a fixed amount of applications, monthly visits, disk space, and bandwidth you can monitor using the Cloudways Platform. To increase your plan resources, you will need to upgrade your plan. However, if you exceed your monthly allowance for visits, disk space, and bandwidth, the overages will be billed in your next invoice. Please note that your applications will not suffer any downtime or failures due to excessive usage of resources.
In this article, we will show how you can monitor your specific application resources and overall plan resources.
How to Monitor Your Application Resources
Log in to your Cloudways Platform using your email address and password.
Select My Applications, located under the Managed Platform.
Next, select your desired application.
Under the Overview tab, scroll down to the Resources section, and you will notice the following information:
Total Visits
Monthly visits refer to the number of visits your site gets from unique IP addresses. Here, you will notice the total number of visits your application has gotten so far since the start of the month.
Total Disk Space
Here, you will notice the disk space that your application currently occupies in your Cloudways plan. An application consists of a database and web application files, which your disk stores.
