Direct hypervisor telemetry for
Vultr cloud instances
Vultr powers high-frequency WordPress hosting with fast NVMe storage and global datacenters. Clockwork Control connects directly to the Vultr API v2 to pull hardware CPU, memory, and bandwidth telemetry, reconciling server IPs with your GridPane or SpinupWP site inventory.
API v2 Telemetry
Pulls real-time hypervisor CPU utilization, disk metrics, and bandwidth transfer directly from Vultr's REST API endpoints.
IP Reconciliation
Matches public Vultr IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with provisioned servers and active WordPress installs automatically.
Control Panel Synergy
Pairs hardware stats with GridPane or SpinupWP control panels running on top of your Vultr high-frequency droplets.
Zero Agent Footprint
Reads metrics via personal API key without installing heavy monitoring background daemons on your compute instances.
Help us test the Vultr Cloud API with a live fleet
The Vultr Cloud module is built to poll hypervisor telemetry and reconcile IPs via API v2 — but we haven’t tested it across active multi-server production droplets yet. Have servers running on Vultr? Check out our Contributing Guide to test telemetry polling for your fleet, vibe code any fixes with Claude, and submit a pull request!
Hypervisor visibility without agent overhead
Traditional monitoring tools require installing heavy Ruby, Python, or Go agents inside every VPS that consume memory and CPU cycles. Clockwork Control queries the Vultr API v2 at the hypervisor level, getting true hardware metrics with zero server overhead.
# Polling Vultr compute instances via API v2:
$ php artisan clockwork:poll-vultr-telemetry
• Authenticating with Vultr API v2...
• Found 6 instances (Region: EWR, ORD, AMS)
• Server vultr-app01 (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, NVMe): CPU 18.4% • Bandwidth: 142GB/4TB
• Matched IP 64.227.12.89 to GridPane host: gp-vultr-cluster
• Telemetry saved to time-series store
• Polling complete: 6 instances updated • Status: OK
Vultr standalone vs. Vultr + Clockwork Control
Clockwork Control connects your raw Vultr infrastructure to your agency client websites and care plans.
| Capability | Vultr Standalone | With Clockwork Control Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Hypervisor Hardware Telemetry | Vultr customer portal graphs and API v2 metrics | ✓Direct hypervisor polling every 5 minutes integrated with your WordPress site health |
| Control Panel Synergy | Unmanaged bare instances | ✓Seamlessly pairs Vultr hardware specs with GridPane, SpinupWP, or custom Nginx sites |
| Automatic IP Reconciliation | Manual server IP lookup in control panel | ✓Automatically links Vultr IPv4/IPv6 addresses to discovered agency server instances |
| Bandwidth & Resource Tracking | Monthly pool charts inside Vultr dashboard | ✓Centralized bandwidth alerting alongside application uptime and SSL expiration |
| Multi-Cloud Aggregation | Vultr infrastructure only | ✓View Vultr alongside DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, AWS, and Azure in one unified index |
| Monitoring Cost | Compute pricing per instance hour | ✓100% Free & Open-Source (MIT) — unmetered instances and unmetered sites |
Help test the Vultr module
The Vultr Cloud module is verified in development and sandbox environments. We are looking for agencies running multi-server Vultr instances to test live API polling and IP reconciliation.
# Set Vultr API Key in .env:
VULTR_API_KEY=your_vultr_api_key_here
# Test Vultr connection and poll telemetry:
$ php artisan clockwork:poll-vultr-telemetry
