Utilization Monitoring

CMM can monitor your server’s utilization and, if it falls below defined thresholds for a particular period, stop the server.

There are 2 usages that are monitored to determine if the server is still in use:

  • CPU usage – When the average CPU for a set period falls below the specified threshold, the server will turn off.

  • Network usage – When the total network usage for a set period falls below the specified threshold, the server will turn off.

The threshold values and the period that the usage must fall below the threshold for can both be configured.

Utilization monitoring can be applied to both of these at the same time, just one or neither (the periods can be independently set for both settings).

Note – If CPU usage and Network usage are both monitored, usage must fall below the threshold for both in order for the server to be stopped.
