System tools your agent already has

What is running, what it is using, and what is about to become a problem.

14 tools

An agent that operates a machine needs to see the machine. These cover what is running and what it costs, what is filling the disk, and what happens on a schedule, which is what turns a one-off request into something that keeps happening without you.

The tools

Preinstalled on every plan, with nothing to set up. A few depend on the engine you pick.

  • ps

    List the processes running in the sandbox.

  • top

    Watch processes, CPU and memory in real time.

  • htop

    An interactive process viewer, easier to read than top.

  • pstree

    Show the process list as a parent and child tree.

  • free

    Report how much memory is in use and how much is left.

  • vmstat

    Sample memory, swap, IO and CPU activity over time.

  • iostat

    Report disk throughput and CPU load per device.

  • lsof

    List open files and sockets, and the processes holding them.

  • tmux

    Keep long jobs alive in detachable terminal sessions.

  • killall

    Signal every process matching a name.

  • fuser

    Find which processes hold a file, directory or socket open.

  • mpstat

    Report per-core CPU utilization over an interval.

  • pidstat

    Report CPU, memory and I/O per process over an interval.

  • sar

    Collect and replay system activity samples over time.
