See how resources are used

See how much memory, CPU and disk your members’ workspaces use, and what is running right now. This page also says where to look first when someone says things are slow or will not start.

What you do What happens
Open a member’s detail That member’s workspace state and the memory, CPU and disk meters appear
Open Operations › Sessions The sessions running in the tenant right now, across members
Revisit a limit or stop a workspace A new limit applies to whatever starts next. A stopped workspace can be started again by the member

All of it is in Tenant settings (the account menu at the top right).

Pick a member under Tenant settings → Members to open the member detail. It shows Running or Stopped at the top, and three meters under Workspace resources.

The member detail's Workspace resources: memory, CPU and disk meters, with the Size and limits card below
Meter What it shows
Memory Use, the limit and the percentage
CPU Utilisation. “1 core = 100%”, so 200% means two cores’ worth
Disk Home use and the allocation
  • The values change every few seconds. As usage rises a meter turns to a warning colour, then to a danger colour
  • ”–” means “cannot be measured right now”, not zero. CPU needs two readings, so it stays ”–” for a few seconds after a start
  • A stopped workspace shows disk use only. On AWS the values are read from inside the workspace, so a stopped one shows no meters at all, disk included

Agent Fleet sometimes stops a workspace on its own. The roster card then shows the Stopped automatically badge and a chip with the reason.

Chip What happened
Workspace start stopped automatically The start did not finish within the deployment’s time limit (Limits and defaults)
Workspace stopped automatically (not responding) The Agent stayed silent past the time the deployment set. This happens only where the deployment has turned this stop on
  • Hover over the chip for the reason. The member detail shows the same heading with the limit, the last stage the start reached and when it was stopped
  • On AWS the reason often names why no machine could take the workspace. That is usually the thing to fix
  • The member was sent a notification with the same content. The display stays until the workspace is next started

How to read the roster is in Finding your way around.

For the whole tenant, open Tenant settings → Operations › Sessions.

  • It lists only the sessions running now in the tenant, across members
  • Filter by “User / label / repository”. The number running is at the top right
  • Stopped sessions are in the member detail under Sessions, with each session’s kind, what it works on, its state and when it started

Both are read-only: there is no button to stop one session. To stop the whole workspace, use Force-stop a workspace.

A limit applies when a member tries to start something new. Nothing already running is stopped.

Limit What happens to the member
Sessions They cannot create a new session and see “You’ve reached the limit on concurrently running sessions. Stop one of the running sessions before creating another.”
Workspaces (tenant-wide) Their workspace cannot start
Internal repositories, LFS size Creating a repository or uploading beyond the limit is refused

Members can carry on once they tidy up what is running. If someone hits a limit all the time, revisit their session limit, or ask the deployment administrator to raise the tenant-wide limit.

  1. Look at the whole picture in Operations › Sessions. How many things are running, and is one person or repository dominating?
  2. Open the likely member’s detail and read the meters. If memory or disk has changed colour, that workspace is the cause. CPU spikes briefly, so judge by whether it stays high
  3. Act. For a one-off runaway, ask the member to stop the session. Only when they cannot be reached, or it is clearly running away, force-stop the workspace
  4. If it keeps happening, adjust a limit. For one person, the session limit or the workspace size. For the whole tenant, ask the deployment administrator to revisit the tenant limits or idle auto-stop

Only the deployment administrator sees the host as a whole, other tenants included. If it is slow across tenants, tell them.
