# How Do I Obtain Computing Resource Usage?

## Problem

How do I obtain resource usage (e.g. RAM, CPU, disk utilization, etc.) of my compute hosts or instances?

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
* Nova
* Clarity UI

## Answer

Compute resource usage may be obtained either via the OpenStack CLI, or Platform9's Clarity UI.

### OpenStack CLI

Refer to [OpenStack Docs - Show usage statistics for hosts and instances](https://docs.openstack.org/nova/pike/admin/common/nova-show-usage-statistics-for-hosts-instances.html).

### Clarity UI

### Administrators

* From the Dashboard tab, you will be able to see an overview of compute, network, and storage statistics.

* Under Infrastructure → Hosts, you can also toggle statistics which will show a more specific breakdown of these resources.
