View a site's resources and usage

See the nodes behind a WordPress site as a list or a diagram, open a layer or a node, browse its files and read its live usage.

A WordPress site runs on one or more nodes. A node is one server, and a layer is a group of nodes that do the same job, such as the Application Nodes that run PHP or the database. The Resources and Usage tabs on a site’s page show them.

See the site’s nodes

  1. Open the site from Site Listing, then select the Resources tab.
  2. Choose a view:
    • List shows each layer with its nodes, their size and their state.
    • Topology draws the layers as a diagram, from the load balancer down to the database and storage.
  3. Select a layer or a node to open its own page. It keeps the site’s header and tabs, with Resources selected.

Browse the site’s files

In the List view or on a node’s page, select Browse Files to open Files. It shows the application and configuration files on that node. The site must be running.

Read the site’s usage

  1. Select the Usage tab.
  2. Current Environment Totals shows what the site uses right now, over the last few minutes.
  3. The charts below show how usage changed over time. Open a layer or a node to see its own usage.

If you see Not Enough Usage Data Yet, the site is new or was stopped. Come back later.

A multi-region site

A multi-region site has one set of nodes in each region. On Resources and Usage, a Region selector appears above the view. The primary region comes first. Choose a region to see its nodes and usage.

These views work the same way as for an Application Hosting environment, including resizing a layer. See Manage an environment.
