Fleet and monitoring

The Fleet views answer progressively more specific questions: what exists, can vops reach it, is it healthy now, and will someone be notified when the workstation is away?

Overview

Overview summarizes:

  • provider server count;
  • estimated list-price spend;
  • limited or sold-out plans;
  • cheapest current plans;
  • registered-host health;
  • provider regions on the map;
  • current price-per-memory comparisons.
Overview combines provider inventory, estimates and live SSH evidence. Follows the documentation theme

Spend is an estimate from provider list prices, not an invoice. Taxes, discounts, traffic and provider-specific extras can differ.

The map and “best value” cards are research views. They do not create a server when opened.

Servers

Servers combines provider resources with the local host inventory.

A provider-only row is visible through an account API but has no working SSH management path. A managed host row has an inventory entry and reports its connection state. Select Manage to inspect or configure that path.

Adding an external server creates local inventory; it does not provision a new provider resource.

Servers merges provider resources with their local SSH-management state. Follows the documentation theme

The last two operations must remain visibly separate.

Monitoring

Monitoring runs live read-only probes over SSH. It shows reachability, resource signals and individual findings for configured hosts. It does not depend on a permanent vops daemon on the server.

A host with “SSH not ready” has inventory but no usable access path. Configure the connection before interpreting missing metrics.

The dashboard keeps a short local series while it is open. It is not a long-term metrics database.

Monitoring is a live, read-only SSH view; its short series resets with the page. Follows the documentation theme
Terminal window
vops host status web-1

Use the CLI form when the complete finding detail or JSON result needs to be captured.

Host management

The host detail view gathers actions that share one SSH target:

  • connection and key state;
  • live health;
  • package updates;
  • hardening;
  • firewall state;
  • application and monitoring context;
  • benchmarks and other host operations when available.

Inspect first. A healthy connection does not imply that an update, hardening change or benchmark is non-disruptive.

Watchers

Watchers is the hosted-alert view:

  • availability watches for plans not yet purchased;
  • external black-box uptime monitors;
  • host dead-man monitors.

These records come from the relay connected through vops watch login. Removing a watcher stops that alert; it does not change the provider server, application or local host inventory.

Watchers groups the three hosted alert types without merging their effects. Follows the documentation theme
Terminal window
vops watch list
vops watch feed --follow
