The **Monitoring** tab in the left sidebar of an instance shows
real-time charts of resource usage and database activity for the
selected time period.

The dashboard groups metrics into the following panels:

* **IOPS** — disk read and write operations per second
* **CPU usage** — broken out by `user`, `system`, `iowait`, `softirq`,
  and `steal`
* **Memory usage** — used memory and cache and buffers as a percentage
  of the total
* **Disk usage** — filesystem space used as a percentage of the storage
  allocated to the service
* **Network traffic** — bytes received and transmitted
* **Database size** — bytes per database (including the `postgres`
  default and any user-created databases)
* **Connection count** — active and idle connections
* **Operation throughput** — fetches, inserts, updates, and deletes per
  second
* **Transactions** — commits and rollbacks per second
* **Cache hit ratio** — percentage of block reads served from the
  buffer cache rather than disk
* **Deadlocks** — deadlocks detected by the server
