iPhone Application Hints and Tips

Rotate for graphs

Just rotate your device when on the server stats view to reveal graphs for that server. You can switch between different metrics and view historical data for the last 30 days or 12 hours.

Metrics with multiple values

Some metrics have more than one value. For example, the disk usage metric has % used, GB used and GB available, and the network traffic metric will often have several interfaces (e.g. eth0, eth1).

The server view allows you to cycle through these values by tapping the value itself. The last selected value will be remembered so it will show the same value next time you view that server.

Cyclable metrics

• Apache status
• Disk usage
• Network traffic

Caching

The application will cache some data for a short period of time to reduce the amount of time you spend waiting for data to download. For example if you view server details, then tap Alerts and view the list of checks, tapping back to the Server tab will display the last viewed server with the data downloaded. Tapping back to Alerts will not trigger another download of the data.

You can of course force the download by tapping the refresh button in the top right of each view.

Shake to refresh

Shake your device to refresh the metrics data.
