Sandbox metrics
The sandbox metrics allows you to get information about the sandbox’s CPU, memory and disk usage.
Getting sandbox metrics
Getting the metrics of a sandbox returns an array of timestamped metrics containing CPU, memory and disk usage information. The metrics are collected every 5 seconds.
Getting sandbox metrics using the SDKs
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'
const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)
// Wait for a few seconds to collect some metrics
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10_000))
const metrics = await sbx.getMetrics()
// You can also get the metrics by sandbox ID:
// const metrics = await Sandbox.getMetrics(sbx.sandboxId)
console.log('Sandbox metrics:', metrics)
// Sandbox metrics:
// [
// {
