Checking your server status and information in WHM

Let’s look at the server status section of WHM and the two options: Server Information and Service Status.

Click the Service Status link.

Now click the Server Information link.

Here you will find a list of services running on your server and their status, whether the services are up or failing.

The check marks show that the services here are all up and running fine.

If you see a Red Stop box (failing) or Yellow box (about to fail), more investigation would be needed to find out why and how to get the services back up and running.

One of the more important items on this list is the server load. It is a good indication of how hard the server is being run. If the load gets much above 1.00 multiplied by the number of CPU cores in your server, the server may be overloaded, and you should address this with your server administration.

At the bottom of the list of services is a list of your hard drive partitions and how each uses much storage space. It is typically the /home directory where all the hosting account files are located, so you should ensure there’s lots of space available here.

On the server information page, you can see the complete details of your server.

In this case, the server has 2 processors, each running with a 16MB cache since it’s a VPS.

The server has 3.8 GB of RAM.

This demo assumes you’ve already logged in to WebHost Manager.

It has one hard drive named vda1, which is a 60GB drive.

You can see a breakdown of how the 3.8GB of RAM is used here.

Finally, a detailed breakdown of the hard drive partitions is shown here at the bottom of the page.

This is the end of the tutorial. If you ever have problems with the service you get from your server, you should return to the server status section to see where the problems may occur.
