Server Management
How to manage, monitor, and maintain your servers in Sproobo
Once your servers are provisioned, Sproobo provides tools to manage and monitor them without requiring SSH access.
Viewing Servers
- 1
Navigate to Servers
Go to your dashboard and click on "Servers" in the sidebar. - 2
Server List
You'll see all your servers with:- Server name and status
- Region and server type
- Current CPU and memory usage
- Number of sites running on the server
Server Details
Click on a server to view:
Server Information
- Overview: Status, type, location, and IP address
- Metrics: Real-time and historical CPU, memory, disk, and network usage
- Sites: All sites and services running on this server
- Firewall: Configured firewall rules
- nginx config: View and edit nginx configuration files
- Provisioning log: Step-by-step bootstrap history
Metrics
The Sproobo agent runs on every managed server and reports metrics every 10 seconds:
Available Metrics
- CPU utilization (%)
- Memory usage (used / total)
- Disk usage and I/O
- Network traffic (inbound / outbound)
Firewall Management
Configure firewall rules without SSH access:
Firewall Rules
- HTTP/HTTPS (80, 443): Open by default for web traffic
- Custom ports: Add additional ports for internal services
- IP-restricted rules: Limit access to specific IP ranges
nginx Configuration Editor
You can view and edit nginx configuration files directly from the server detail page. Sproobo runs nginx -t before applying any change and rolls back automatically if the config test fails.
User-defined customisations placed in /etc/nginx/sproobo-overrides/<domain>.conf are preserved across all deployments and template applications.
Deleting Servers
Only the server owner can delete a server. You cannot delete a server while it is still provisioning or bootstrapping — wait for it to reach a ready or failed state first.
