summary: To better understand how server resources are used, you can access a variety of server information and statistical data (such as memory or traffic usage) right from the Plesk interface.

Learning about the current server resources’ usage

To learn about current CPU, RAM, swap, and disk space usage, visit the Server Information page. There, you can also see the number of domains hosted on the server that are “active” (domains that are online), “problems” (domains that are online, but have exceeded their disk space and/or bandwidth limits), and “inactive” (domains that are offline due to being suspended).
