We are running an app that takes work from a queue and need a way for the application to know the CPU load of the node it is running on so it doesnt take more work than it can handle.
Strangely it appears the machines allocated in the App Platform dont report CPU usage in any way that i can find. If i run top
all of the CPU summary stats at the top say 0
:
CPU: 0% usr 0% sys 0% nic 0% idle 0% io 0% irq 0% sirq

Hi there,
I believe that due to the nature of the architecture the App Platform does not support resource usage reporting with tools like PM2 in Node.js apps and CLI tools like
top
. Instead, you could use theInsights
tab to see insights such as memory and CPU usage:https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/view-insights/
Best,
