.. _Monitoring Clients:

Monitoring Clients
------------------

By monitoring clients, you can check the status and health of servers that you use to access virtual machines and containers. To monitor clients, use the ``vstorage -c <cluster_name> top`` command, for example:

.. image:: ../../../images/image026.png
        :align: center
	:class: align-center

The command above shows detailed information about the ``stor1`` cluster. The monitoring parameters for clients (highlighted in red) are explained in the table below:
