Valid for migrated Cloud Servers and VPS, which are managed in the Cloud Panel

In this article, you will learn how the Monitoring Center in the Cloud Panel is structured, and what information it provides on the availability of your migrated Cloud Servers or VPS.

General information on monitoring

Regular monitoring of your servers is generally recommended. This allows you to recognise performance bottlenecks and any problems that may occur at an early stage, and be informed punctually if the server or individual components fail. This also applies to certain types of cyber attacks. If you are attacked, a quick response is essential to stop the attack and minimise the damage caused.

Comprehensive information on analysing performance bottlenecks can be found in the following articles:
