How can I monitor my resource usage statistics in Plesk?

Steps to Monitor Resource Usage in Plesk

  1. Log in to Your Plesk Account
    Access your Plesk control panel using your username and password.

  2. Go to "Resource Usage"

    • Navigate to "Statistics" in the main menu.

    • Click on "Resource Usage" to view your account's current usage details.

  3. View Disk and Bandwidth Usage

    • Under Statistics, you can see disk space and bandwidth consumption for your account.

    • If you have multiple domains, you can view usage per domain or subdomain.

  4. Check CPU and Memory Usage (if supported)

    • Go to "Resource Usage" or the server health monitoring section to see CPU, memory, and other metrics.

    • Some hosting providers enable detailed graphs for CPU and memory utilization.

  5. Access Usage History

    • Use the "Traffic Usage" or "Disk Usage" tabs to view historical data and trends for specific periods.

  6. Check Error and Access Logs

    • Under "Logs", you can monitor:

      • Website traffic logs

      • Error logs for troubleshooting issues

    • This can help identify potential causes of high resource usage.

  7. Set Alerts for Resource Limits
    If your hosting provider supports it, configure notifications in Plesk to alert you when usage approaches your limits.

  8. Optimize Usage if Necessary

    • Use the Plesk Toolkit (e.g., WordPress Toolkit) to optimize your website s performance.

    • Consider upgrading your hosting plan if you frequently hit resource limits.
