# Sandbox metrics

<Note>
This feature is in a private beta.
</Note>

The sandbox metrics allows you to get information about the sandbox's CPU and memory usage.

## Installation

To get sandbox metrics, you need to install the beta version of the SDKs and CLI:

- [Installing beta SDKs](/docs/sandbox/installing-beta-sdks)

- [Installing beta CLI](/docs/cli#beta-cli)

## Getting sandbox metrics
Getting the metrics of a sandbox returns an array of timestamped metrics containing CPU and memory usage information.
The metrics are collected at the start of the sandbox, then every 2 seconds, and finally right before the sandbox is deleted.

### Getting sandbox metrics using the SDKs

<CodeGroup>
```js
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sbx = await Sandbox.create()
console.log('Sandbox created', sbx.sandboxId)

const metrics = await sbx.getMetrics() // $HighlightLine

// You can also get the metrics by sandbox ID:
// const metrics = await Sandbox.getMetrics(sbx.sandboxId)

console.log('Sandbox metrics:', metrics)

// [
//   {
//     cpuCount: 2,
//     cpuUsedPct: 50.05,
//     memTotalMiB: 484,
//     memUsedMiB: 37,
//     timestamp: '2025-01-23T23:44:12.222Z'
//   },
//   {
//     cpuCount: 2,
//     cpuUsedPct: 4.5,
//     memTotalMiB: 484,
//     memUsedMiB: 37,
//     timestamp: '2025-01-23T23:44:13.220Z'
//   }
// ]

```
```python
from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

sbx = Sandbox()
print('Sandbox created', sbx.sandbox_id)

metrics = sbx.get_metrics() # $HighlightLine

# You can also get the metrics by sandbox ID:
# metrics = Sandbox.get_metrics(sbx.sandbox_id)

print('Sandbox metrics', metrics) 

# [
#   SandboxMetrics(timestamp=datetime.datetime(
#       2025, 1, 23, 23, 58, 42, 84050, tzinfo=tzutc()), 
#       cpu_count=2, 
#       cpu_used_pct=50.07, 
#       mem_total_mib=484
#       mem_used_mib=37, 
#   ), 
#   SandboxMetrics(timestamp=datetime.datetime(
#       2025, 1, 23, 23, 58, 44, 84845, tzinfo=tzutc()), 
#       cpu_count=2, 
#       cpu_used_pct=4.75, 
#       mem_total_mib=484
#       mem_used_mib=38,
#   ),
# ]
```

### Getting sandbox metrics using the CLI
<CodeGroup isTerminalCommand>
```bash
e2b sandbox metrics <sandbox_id>  # $HighlightLine

# Metrics for sandbox <sandbox_id>
# 
# [2025-01-23 00:58:58.829Z]  { cpuCount: 2, cpuUsedPct: 50.21, logger: '', memTotalMiB: 484, memUsedMiB: 38, timestamp: '2025-01-23T00:58:58.829638869Z' }
# [2025-01-23 00:59:03.814Z]  { cpuCount: 2, cpuUsedPct: 5.16, logger: '', memTotalMiB: 484, memUsedMiB: 37, timestamp: '2025-01-23T00:59:03.814028031Z' }
# [2025-01-23 00:59:08.815Z]  { cpuCount: 2, cpuUsedPct: 1.6, logger: '', memTotalMiB: 484, memUsedMiB: 37, timestamp: '2025-01-23T00:59:08.815933749Z' }
```

## Limitations while in beta
- It may take a second or more to get the metrics after the sandbox is created. Until the logs are collected from the sandbox, you will get an empty array.
