Sevalla charges for Database Hosting based on the size, runtime, and egress bandwidth (when applicable) of your database. With Database Analytics, you can get insights into your database’s usage data. You can view analytics for each database in database-level analytics or for all of your databases in company-level analytics. For more information about how your usage is calculated and how it appears on your invoice, refer to Database Pricing. The database billing amounts are also included in the Spending overview chart on your Sevalla Dashboard. This chart shows the spending overview for all Sevalla services.

Database level analytics

Database-level analytics shows you information about your database’s storage, memory, and CPU usage.  When viewing the database-level analytics, you can choose to see data for the past 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. To access these in-depth reports, go to your database’s Analytics page (Databases > dbname > Analytics).

​
Storage

The Storage chart shows you the data stored in the database (including any add-on storage) for the time period selected. Select Show limit to compare your usage to your service’s resource limit.
Relational databases such as MariaDB and MySQL organize data in predefined relationships where data is stored in tables (or “relations”) of columns and rows to make it easy to see and understand how different data structures relate to each other. This means the database size includes these relations and, therefore, will always be larger than the actual data in the database.

​
Memory

The Memory chart shows the average of the total memory (RAM) used for the selected time period. Select Show limit to compare your usage to your service’s resource limit. If a database is using most or all of the memory available, we recommend a larger database type with more available memory. You can increase the size in your Database Settings (Database Settings > Basic details) if you need a larger database.

Due to the size of the databases in Database Hosting plans 7-9, to ensure the stability and speed of the database application, the amount of usable RAM and CPU may be 4.4% – 9.4% less than indicated. These resources remain dedicated to the underlying system that runs your database.

​
CPU

The CPU chart shows the average of the total CPU utilization for the selected time period, expressed as a percentage of the instance’s CPU resources. Select Show limit to compare your usage to your service’s resource limit. If you see a high percentage of CPU usage (near 100%), we recommend a larger database type with more available CPU. You can change the size in your Database Settings (Database Settings > Basic details) if you need a larger database.

Company level analytics

Company-level analytics shows you the total bandwidth and runtime for all of your databases. To access these reports, go to your company’s Analytics page (Your name > Company settings > Analytics). Note: If you also have Application Hosting, you’ll need to select the Databases subpage to view your company-level analytics. When viewing company-level analytics, you can choose to see data for the past 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or the current billing cycle (Current month in the dropdown menu).

​
Bandwidth

The bandwidth chart shows the total egress data all of your databases have transmitted for the selected time period. Each color block represents an individual database or group of databases, so you can see which ones use the most or the least amount of bandwidth.

​
Runtime

The runtime report shows the total time all databases have been running after being built and deployed, with each resource type and count in a separate row.

Additional notes

Analytics data is retained for 30 days. We suggest checking your Database Analytics frequently after first creating your Database at Sevalla and periodically thereafter. If you see any unexplained analytics data or inconsistency that concerns you, let our Support team know, and we can further investigate to help determine the cause.
