Automated Time4VPS Resource Usage Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens the Time4VPS control panel, reads disk, memory, and CPU usage against safe thresholds, posts a Slack warning the moment one runs hot, and logs the reading to a Google Drive doc so the team can see the trend.

In short

How do I get warned before Time4VPS resource usage takes a site down?

WebRun checks your Time4VPS server's disk, memory, and CPU usage every hour against safe thresholds, logging each reading to Google Drive so trends stay visible. The moment a resource runs hot, it posts a Slack warning naming the figure and threshold crossed, so your team catches strain early, before a site goes down.

  • Resource strain gets a same hour Slack warning
  • Every hourly reading is logged for trend analysis
  • Nothing on the server changes without a human deciding to act

Built for Developers running Time4VPS · small dev teams · system administrators · agencies managing client servers

Questions, answered

Does it upgrade the plan or free up resources automatically?

No. WebRun only reads resource stats and reports them. Upgrading a plan, clearing disk space, or restarting a service stays a manual step your team takes.

Why log to Google Drive as well as posting to Slack?

The Drive log builds an hourly history so the team can see whether a resource is trending toward trouble, not just react to one reading.

Will it alert me for a normal traffic spike?

No. It only posts when a resource actually crosses its threshold, so routine, short lived spikes don't trigger a warning.
