Wondering about Digitalocean managed DB disk usage? We can help you.

At Bobcares, we often receive requests regarding DigitalOcean as part of our DigitalOcean Managed Services.

Today, let us see how our Support Engineers monitor DB disk usage in Digitalocean.

Digitalocean managed DB disk usage

In this article let us see where can we find the Disk Utilization of the Managed Database.

Generally, we can monitor cluster load and resources utilization metrics from the cloud panel.

In the Cloud Control Panel, we need to click on the database cluster and go to the “Insights” sub-tab.

In the Select object drop-down menu lists, we select the cluster name of the MySQL managed database.

Here we will be able to find cluster information related to CPU, Memory & Disk utilization.

Our Support Techs describe the two kinds of metrics for you.

With cluster metrics, we can monitor the performance of the nodes in a database cluster.

It covers primary and standby nodes; metrics for each read-only node are displayed independently. We can use this data as a guide to capacity planning and optimization.

In addition, we can set up alerts on cluster metrics.

On the other hand, database metrics monitor the performance of the database itself.

With this data, we can check the health of the database, pinpoint performance bottlenecks, and identify unusual use patterns that may indicate an application bug or security breach.

Eventually, as we saw, to see the metrics of a cluster, we select a cluster name from the drop-down menu.

Conclusion

In short, we can find the metrics of a cluster easily from the Cloud Panel. In this article, we saw how our Support Techs find them and their details.
