Metrics & Cost

Check a service’s CPU, memory, network, disk and cost with lizard metrics or in the dashboard.

View metrics

lizard metrics                    # CPU / memory / network / disk
lizard metrics --service api      # a specific service
lizard metrics --range 24h        # time window: 1h (default), 6h, 24h, 7d, 14d, 30d
lizard metrics --watch            # live-updating view

Include cost

lizard metrics --cost

This command shows cost instead of metrics: each running resource’s price per hour, usage for the current billing period (egress included), and how much of Pro’s included $19 you have used this month. It covers the whole project, ignores --service and --range, and only the workspace owner can see it.

Dashboard

The dashboard (lizard open) renders these as charts in the Metrics 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. Pro allows 1 replica per service during the trial and 5 after the first paid invoice.
  • Disk pressure on an addon → grow storage: lizard scale --service postgres --storage 8192.
