Inspect real-time metrics

Launch the **Live Metrics** overlay from your server dashboard to visualise CPU saturation, tick rate stability, and player concurrency.

  • Pin the overlay inside the control panel for at-a-glance visibility.
  • Export 24-hour graphs to CSV for deeper analysis.

Create scaling policies

Navigate to **Scaling → Policies** and define CPU or player-count triggers. PixlFlip will automatically provision additional compute headroom during spikes.

Combine vertical and horizontal scaling for maximum flexibility. Horizontal scaling keeps latency low for events and tournaments.

Test your automation

Use the **Simulation** tool to emulate high-load events before your next launch. Review projected spend to stay within budget.
