CWP Cage LIVE

Updated

CWP Cage LIVE

CWP Cage LIVE is the live resource monitor for caged accounts. It shows, in real time, how much each caged hosting account is using — CPU, memory, I/O and processes — the way a CageFS/LVE resource monitor does. An account only appears here once it has been caged in CWP Cage.

Where to find it

Security → CWP Cage LIVE in the admin panel (also reachable from the CWP Cage LIVE button on the CWP Cage page).

What it shows

A live table, one row per caged account, refreshing on its own:

ColumnMeaning
Account / Packagethe hosting account and its package
SPEEDcurrent CPU usage
PMEMphysical (resident) memory in use
VMEMvirtual memory in use
IOdisk I/O throughput
IOPSdisk operations per second
EPentry processes (concurrent PHP requests)
NPROCnumber of processes
INODESinodes used

If the table stays empty or shows “Loading…”, no accounts are caged yet — enable CWP Cage for an account first and it will appear here.

How to use it

  • Watch a newly caged account under real traffic to confirm it has enough headroom.
  • Spot the account that is driving CPU, memory or I/O on a busy server at a glance, instead of reading top and mapping PIDs back to accounts by hand.
  • Use it together with Security → Cgroups Resource Limits when you want to cap what a heavy account can use.

Notes

  • The figures are per caged account; an account that is not caged does not report here. Cage it in CWP Cage first.
  • The monitor reads the cage’s own accounting, so the numbers reflect exactly what the isolated account is consuming, not the whole server.
