The PROCESSOR useage is for your VPS. Memory displayed is for the entire server.

Also... I would recommend using your PowerPanel to check your resource useage. It's much more accurate and tells you specifically what types of resource limits you are close to hitting. (For example, is it kernal memory or primary system memory.) There is also the QoS alerts section, which gives you notices about changes in your system's performance and logs when you reach a resource limit.

It makes me wonder why Virtuozzo haven't come up with a command line option to check resources within a VPS - has this been suggested?

Yes you can see your resource use on the commandline with

cat /proc/userbeancounters

I'ts not as friendly looking and you lose **when** you hit limits like the powerpanel shows.

# cat /proc/userbeancounters
cat: /proc/userbeancounters: No such file or directory

# cat /proc/user_beancounters
Version: 2.5
uid resource held maxheld barrier limit failcnt

Works now :)

The PROCESSOR useage is for your VPS. Memory displayed is for the entire server.

Just as a quick guide, when I'm in ssh I use "w". I've read that the load average guideline corresponds to the number of processors, although I've seen it burst way above that and still be quite ok.

So assuming the server has a dual HT Xeon ~= 4 CPUs, taking into account that the load is for the vps, what is a rough guide for a top server load? Would it be 4 or less? Would a 2 still be alright? Just for a simple notice that things are generally ok.

Or have I got this all backwards?
