Per-app breakdown of server resource usage

[ekevu123]

I have just realised there's no per-app breakdown of server ressource usage in the UI, unless one app is big enough to appear in the overall statistics.

But I think it could be helpful to understand quickly which app uses how much space, which app uses the most RAM etc.

The system wide stats/graphs will show the highest usage ones if you select all for the graphs. For individual apps, those usage graphs are within each app's configure view.

Is there a case we miss here?

[ekevu123]

Yes, getting a quick overview of all apps for comparison. I don't see any specific apps in the system-wide stats/graphs, maybe because there's no outlier.

Precisely, I'd like to see whether there's an app using too many ressources, RAM in my case, without accessing every single one of each. I wouldn't need to know only the top apps, because that might be justified.

Exactly for this is the dropdown to select what is shown in the system graphs. On the top-right of the Graphs section should be two dropdowns, one to select which things to show and the other to select the timeframe. Is this not there in your UI?

[ekevu123]

Right, I didn't use this yet because of the bad user experience (sorry!).
In particular:

• When I select/unselect apps, I need to update the timeframe for the changes to have effect. This is a bug, it should update immediately.
• Most importantly, though, I wouldn't put this on hover, the list is long in my case and the numbers are very hard to read. The list is unsorted as well.

I guess the feature request would be to make this a separate section with basic table functions (filtering, sorting, searching). This would be a great UI win.

We have fixed both the selecting/refresh bug as well as the sorting and readability on the graph hover overlays with 9.0.15

[ekevu123]

The bug is fixed now! But I still don't get the per-app overview. When I choose all apps and services, I still see the tops only.

So, doable, sure, but maybe someone else wants this feature as well, so we can leave this open.

[nebulon]

You can select all and if the top most are not the ones you are looking for, I guess you can deselect those in the dropdown, which will push the next ones up?

Maybe some task manager like list of all is more what you are looking for, instead of cramming all this into the graph tooltip?

[ekevu123]

Well, there are 44 services, so I don't really want to select and de-select them in varying configurations.

I would add an app list somewhere, that's the suggestion I have made above.
