View storage usage

The docSize field in the quota object indicates the total storage quota. To view the actual storage usage for an instance, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Instance Management page

On the Instance Management page, the Storage Usage (GB) column shows the used and total storage for the instance. The format is Used/Total. For example, 0.5/1 indicates that 0.5 GB of the 1 GB total is used.

Method 2: CloudMonitor

You can use CloudMonitor to view historical trends of your storage usage over a period ranging from one hour to 14 days.

  1. On the Instance Management page, find the instance and click Details in the Actions column.

  2. At the top of the instance details page, click View CloudMonitor Metrics.

  3. On the CloudMonitor page, view the following metrics:

    • Storage Capacity (B): The instance's actual storage usage, in bytes.

    • Storage Usage (%): The percentage of used storage.
