Server Information

This page explains the Server Information screen in the GoAdmio Admin Panel. It provides a detailed snapshot of the server's hardware, operating system, kernel, and real-time resource usage.

Location: Admin Panel → Server Management → Server Information

Overview

The Server Information page is the single place to inspect what hardware and software your server is running, how resources are being consumed, and what environment the hosting stack sits on. It gathers system-level data that would otherwise require running several commands over SSH.

Use it for:

• Confirming OS, kernel, and architecture after install or upgrade
• Checking available CPU, RAM, and disk before creating new accounts
• Identifying which processes are consuming CPU or memory
• Verifying network interfaces and RAID status
• Reviewing the weather/geo-location context of the server (informational)

Sections

| Size | Partition size |
| Used / Free | Usage and free space |

> Tip: If /home or /var is running low, check Disk Usage and Show Accounts Over Quota.

Resource Usage

Real-time (or near-real-time) consumption metrics.

Total Memory Usage

Overall RAM summary.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Total | Total installed RAM |
| Used | RAM currently in use |
| Free | RAM available |
| Buffers/Cache | RAM used by kernel buffers and page cache |
| Swap | Swap used / total |

Memory Usage (TOP 5)

The five processes consuming the most RAM.

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| PID | Process ID |
| Command | Process name |
| %MEM | Percentage of total RAM used |
| RSS | Resident memory size |

> Tip: If mysqld, php-fpm, or httpd dominate the top, review PHP Configuration, MySQL Databases, and Process Monitor.

CPU Usage (TOP 5)

The five processes consuming the most CPU.

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| PID | Process ID |
| Command | Process name |
| %CPU | Percentage of CPU used |
| Time | Total CPU time consumed |

> Tip: Sustained high CPU from php-fpm or httpd often indicates heavy traffic or a runaway script. See Apache Status and /go/httptop.

CPU Temperature

Current CPU temperature reading, if the hardware exposes it.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Temperature | CPU temp in °C |

> Note: This field is only populated on physical servers with a supported sensor; virtual machines usually do not report it.

Weather

Geo-based weather at the server's location.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Location | Inferred city/country of the server |
| Conditions | Current weather |

> Note: Informational only. It depends on the server's outbound IP geo-location and may be inaccurate for VPS or cloud hosts.

Network

Network Interfaces

Lists every network interface and its configuration.

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Interface | Name (eth0, ens3, lo, tun0) |
| IP Address | IPv4 and/or IPv6 address assigned |
| MAC | Hardware address |
| State | UP / DOWN |
| RX / TX | Bytes received / transmitted |

> Tip: If a public IP is missing here, check Ports in Use and the panel's top banner (IPv4/IPv6 shown in the header).

RAID

Status of any RAID arrays configured on the server.

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Device | RAID device (e.g., /dev/md0) |
| Level | RAID level (RAID 1, RAID 10) |
| State | clean, degraded, rebuilding |
| Disks | Member disks |

> Warning: A degraded state means a disk has failed or been removed. Replace the failed disk promptly and monitor the rebuild. This field is empty on servers without software RAID.

How to Interpret This Page

| Signal | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| High memory usage, low free | RAM pressure | Review top 5 memory processes; consider raising RAM or reducing per-account limits |
| High CPU usage, sustained | CPU bottleneck | Check Apache Status, /go/httptop, and PHP scripts |
| /home or /var near full | Disk pressure | See Disk Usage and clean up or expand storage |
| RAID degraded | Disk failure | Replace the failed disk and monitor rebuild |
| CPU temp high | Cooling issue (physical servers) | Check fans and airflow |
| Hostname unexpected | Misconfiguration | Use Change Hostname |

Related Monitoring Tools

| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Service Status | Check whether services are running |
| Apache Status | Live Apache worker statistics |
| Process Monitor | Interactive process list with CPU/memory |
| Ports in Use | Which services are listening on which ports |
| Disk Usage | Per-account and per-directory disk usage |
| Server Help & Diagnostics | /go/help — automated problem detection |

• Change Hostname — set the server hostname
• Notification Settings — alerts for resource thresholds
• Initial Quota Setup — default resource limits for new accounts
• Process Monitor — live process view
• Ports in Use — listening sockets and their owners

Troubleshooting

| Problem | Likely cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hostname shown differs from panel header | Hostname changed outside GoAdmio | Update via Change Hostname |
| CPU temperature missing | Virtual machine or unsupported sensor | Expected on VPS; no action needed |
| Weather incorrect | Geo-IP mismatch for cloud/VPS IP | Informational only; ignore |
| RAID state degraded | Disk failure or removal | Replace disk and monitor rebuild |
| Disk usage high but no large files in /home | Logs, MySQL, or mail queues consuming space | Check /var/log, /var/lib/mysql, /var/spool/mail |
| Memory usage high but top 5 processes look normal | Page cache counted as used | Normal on Linux; compare free + buffers/cache |

> Tip: For a live, top-style view of processes outside the panel, use Process Monitor or run top / htop over SSH.
