ObservabilityMetrics & Cost

Metrics & Cost

Track CPU, memory, network, and disk for a service — and see what it’s costing — from the CLI or the dashboard.

View metrics

lizard metrics                    # CPU / memory / network / disk
lizard metrics --service api      # a specific service
lizard metrics --range <range>    # time window
lizard metrics --watch            # live-updating view

Include cost

lizard metrics --cost

Adds cost figures alongside resource usage so you can see the price of current scale.

Dashboard

The dashboard (lizard open) renders these as charts in the Metrics / Observability view, and the Usage view breaks down consumption and billing across the project. Open it with:

lizard open

Acting on what you see

  • High CPU/memory → scale up: lizard scale --service api --cpu 2 --memory 2048.
  • Sustained load → add replicas: lizard scale --service api --replicas 3.
  • Disk pressure on an addon → grow storage: lizard scale --service postgres --storage 8192.
