Metrics Explained

CPU Usage

Current processor utilization. High CPU (>80%) may cause meeting quality issues.

Memory Usage

RAM utilization. BBB is memory-intensive; keep below 85% for optimal performance.

Disk Usage

Storage utilization. Recordings consume disk space; monitor to prevent full disk failures.

Load Multiplier

Affects how Scalelite distributes load. Higher values = more meetings routed to this server.

  • 1.0x (default): Standard load distribution
  • 2.0x: Server receives twice the normal load
  • 0.5x: Server receives half the normal load

Management Actions

Cordon

Gracefully prepares a server for maintenance:

  • Stops new meetings from being assigned
  • Existing meetings continue until they end naturally
  • Ideal for planned maintenance

Disable

Immediately removes server from rotation:

  • New meetings are blocked
  • Existing meetings may be affected
  • Use for servers with issues

Panic

Emergency action for critical situations:

  • Immediately ends all meetings
  • Disables the server
  • Use only for emergencies
