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 JavaScript & TypeScript
Python
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter' 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: // [ // { // timestamp: 2025-07-28T08:04:05.000Z, // cpuUsedPct: 20.33, // cpuCount: 2, // memUsed: 32681984, // in bytes // memTotal: 507592704, // in bytes // diskUsed: 1514856448, // in bytes // diskTotal: 2573185024 // in bytes // }, // { // timestamp: 2025-07-28T08:04:10.000Z, // cpuUsedPct: 0.2, // cpuCount: 2, // memUsed: 33316864, // in bytes // memTotal: 507592704, // in bytes // diskUsed: 1514856448, // in bytes // diskTotal: 2573185024 // in bytes // } // ]
Getting sandbox metrics using the CLI e2b sandbox metrics < sandbox_i d > # Metrics for sandbox <sandbox_id> # # [2025-07-25 14:05:55Z] CPU: 8.27% / 2 Cores | Memory: 31 / 484 MiB | Disk: 1445 / 2453 MiB # [2025-07-25 14:06:00Z] CPU: 0.5% / 2 Cores | Memory: 32 / 484 MiB | Disk: 1445 / 2453 MiB # [2025-07-25 14:06:05Z] CPU: 0.1% / 2 Cores | Memory: 32 / 484 MiB | Disk: 1445 / 2453 MiB # [2025-07-25 14:06:10Z] CPU: 0.3% / 2 Cores | Memory: 32 / 484 MiB | Disk: 1445 / 2453 MiB It may take a second or more to get the first metrics after the sandbox is created. Until the first metrics are collected from the sandbox, you will get an empty array.
