## Monitoring

You can monitor the performance of your database from the Porter dashboard. Metrics are available in the "Metrics" tab when opening a datastore.

You can monitor the performance of your database from the Porter dashboard. Metrics are available in the **Metrics** tab when opening a datastore.

- CPU utilization
- RAM utilization
- Storage capacity
The Metrics tab displays four panels:

- **CPU** utilization
- **Memory** (RAM) utilization
- **Disk** (storage) capacity
- **Connections**

Each panel includes a time-series chart along with at-a-glance indicators:

| Indicator | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Current value** | The most recent reading for the metric. |
| **% vs. prior** | Comparison of the second half of the window against the first half. Green indicates improvement; orange or red indicates an unfavorable trend, with severity based on magnitude. |
| **Status dot** | Reflects the current value against per-metric thresholds. White means normal, amber means approaching capacity, and red means critical. |
| **Stats row** | Aggregate values computed across the visible window (for example, average, p95, peak, and minimum for CPU and Memory; used, free, and growth for Disk). |

Status thresholds are fixed per metric:

| Metric | Amber (warn) | Red (critical) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| CPU | 80% | 95% |
| Memory | 75% | 90% |
| Disk | 80% | 95% |

Stats that are not yet available (such as Connections data) render as `—`.
