Check VPS online/offline status in SolusVM

SolusVM is a widely used VPS management panel that enables users and administrators to monitor and control virtual servers with ease. One of its most important functions is providing real-time status updates on VPS instances, which may be online (running) or offline (stopped).

Today, we will explore how to check the VPS status using both SolusVM and Virtualizor, explore common causes for status issues, and how to manage essential VPS information like RAM, disk space, and password settings.

Why VPS Status Matters

Knowing whether the VPS is online or offline helps with:

• Diagnosing connectivity problems
• Monitoring uptime and performance
• Managing resources effectively
• Taking quick action when issues arise

If you’re using Virtualizor on Ubuntu, make sure it’s properly installed and configured. For help, check out how to install Virtualizor KVM on Ubuntu 22.04.

Common Reasons a VPS may be Offline

• Problems on the host node or data center network can affect VPS visibility.
• A VPS may be intentionally shut down or crash due to exceeding memory or CPU limits.
• The agent running on the VPS might fail to start or respond properly.
• Hardware or software problems on the physical server can affect all VPS instances on it.
• Communication between the SolusVM master and slave servers might be interrupted.

Another potential reason could be that the Virtualizor guest agent is not installed, which can affect status detection and other features. Here’s a guide to fix the “Guest Agent Not Installed” issue in Virtualizor.
