Monitoring

Piora provides built-in monitoring features that give you real-time visibility into your server’s resource usage and application health.

Server Monitoring

System Resources

On the server page in the dashboard, you can view the following real-time metrics:

Metric	Description
CPU Usage	Processor utilization percentage and historical trends
Memory Usage	RAM usage and available space
Disk Usage	Disk space utilization
Network Traffic	Inbound and outbound traffic statistics

Docker Resources

Monitor Docker’s overall resource usage:

• Number of running containers
• Disk space used by Docker images
• Docker volume usage
• Docker network status

Freeing Disk Space

Docker images and build cache can consume significant disk space. You can run “Docker Cleanup” in the dashboard to free up unused images and cache.

Application Monitoring

Container Status

Each application’s detail page displays:

• Running status — Running, Stopped, Restarting, etc.
• CPU usage — CPU resources consumed by the container
• Memory usage — Memory consumed by the container
• Network I/O — Container network traffic
• Restart count — Container restart history

Application Logs

View your application’s stdout and stderr logs in real time:

[2024-01-15 10:30:15] Server started on port 3000
[2024-01-15 10:30:16] Connected to database
[2024-01-15 10:31:22] GET /api/users - 200 - 15ms
[2024-01-15 10:31:45] POST /api/login - 200 - 128ms

You can:

• Stream logs in real time
• Search for specific keywords
• Filter by time range
• Download log files

Log Retention

Application logs are retained in Docker’s logging system. We recommend configuring log rotation to prevent log files from consuming excessive disk space.

Traefik Monitoring

Route Status

View all routing rules managed by Traefik:

• List of configured domains
• Container mapping for each domain
• SSL certificate status
• Route health status

Access Logs

Traefik’s access logs record all HTTP requests entering the server:

123.45.67.89 - - [15/Jan/2024:10:30:00 +0000] "GET /api/data HTTP/2.0" 200 1234 "-" "Mozilla/5.0"

Alerts and Notifications

Coming Soon

The alert notification feature is currently under development and will support the following capabilities:

Planned notification features include:

• CPU usage alerts — Notification when CPU exceeds threshold
• Memory alerts — Notification when memory usage is too high
• Disk space alerts — Notification when disk space is low
• Application crash alerts — Notification when a container stops unexpectedly
• SSL certificate alerts — Notification when certificates are about to expire

Notification channels:

• Email
• Webhook
• Discord / Slack

Best Practices

1. Regularly check disk space — Docker images and logs can quickly consume space
2. Set reasonable resource limits — Configure CPU and memory limits for each container
3. Monitor database connections — Avoid connection exhaustion that causes service interruption
4. Keep logs manageable — Configure log rotation to prevent unlimited growth
5. Watch restart counts — Frequent restarts may indicate application stability issues
