New Relic Dashboard for Daytona Sandbox Monitoring

This directory contains a pre-configured New Relic dashboard for monitoring Daytona Sandbox resources including CPU, Memory, and Disk utilization.

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard provides comprehensive monitoring across multiple pages:

  • Resource Overview: High-level view of all sandboxes with aggregate metrics
  • CPU Details: Detailed CPU utilization, limits, and heatmaps
  • Memory Details: Memory usage patterns and limits
  • Disk Details: Filesystem usage and space breakdown

Prerequisites

  • New Relic account with access to create dashboards
  • Your New Relic Account ID
  • jq installed (for the automated setup script)
  • New Relic CLI (newrelic) installed (optional, for CLI import)

Preparing the Dashboard

Before importing, you need to add your Account ID into the dashboard.json.

Quick Setup (One-Liner)

bash
jq --arg account_id "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" 'walk(if type == "object" and has("accountIds") then .accountIds = [($account_id | tonumber)] else . end)' dashboard.json > dashboard-configured.json

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID with your actual numeric Account ID (e.g., 1234567).

Example:

bash
jq --arg account_id "1234567" 'walk(if type == "object" and has("accountIds") then .accountIds = [($account_id | tonumber)] else . end)' dashboard.json > dashboard-configured.json

This will create dashboard-configured.json ready for import.

Import via Web UI

  1. Find Your Account ID:

    • Log in to New Relic
    • Click on your account name in the bottom left
    • Your Account ID is displayed in the account dropdown

  2. Prepare the Dashboard:

    bash
    jq --arg account_id "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" 'walk(if type == "object" and has("accountIds") then .accountIds = [($account_id | tonumber)] else . end)' dashboard.json > dashboard-configured.json

  3. Import the Dashboard:

    • Go to New Relic Dashboards
    • Click "Import dashboard" in the top right
    • Upload dashboard-configured.json
    • Click "Import dashboard"

  4. Verify:

    • The dashboard should now appear in your dashboards list
    • Named: "Daytona Sandbox Resource Monitoring - Multi-Service"

Dashboard Widgets

Resource Overview Page

  • Sandbox Count: Total number of active sandboxes
  • Critical Services: Count of services exceeding resource thresholds
  • Services Resource Overview: Detailed table of all metrics per service
  • CPU/Memory/Disk Utilization: Time-series graphs per service
  • Top Consumers: Bar charts showing highest resource usage
  • Resource Pressure Score: Combined metric showing overall resource strain

Detailed Pages

Each resource type (CPU, Memory, Disk) has a dedicated page with:

  • Time-series utilization graphs
  • Current values with threshold alerts
  • Usage in absolute units (cores, GB)
  • Limits and capacity information
  • Historical averages and peak values

Alert Thresholds

The dashboard includes pre-configured alert severities:

  • CPU: Warning at 70%, Critical at 85%
  • Memory: Warning at 80%, Critical at 90%
  • Disk: Warning at 75%, Critical at 85%

Metrics Tracked

All metrics are prefixed with daytona.sandbox.:

  • cpu.utilization: CPU usage percentage
  • cpu.limit: CPU cores limit
  • memory.utilization: Memory usage percentage
  • memory.usage: Memory used in bytes
  • memory.limit: Memory limit in bytes
  • filesystem.utilization: Disk usage percentage
  • filesystem.usage: Disk space used in bytes
  • filesystem.available: Available disk space in bytes
  • filesystem.total: Total disk space in bytes

Troubleshooting

Dashboard Import Fails

  1. Ensure JSON is valid: jq . dashboard-configured.json
  2. Verify Account ID is numeric (not a string)
  3. Check that you have dashboard creation permissions

jq Not Installed

If the command fails:

  • Install jq: brew install jq (macOS) or apt-get install jq (Linux)
  • Verify installation: jq --version

Customization

To modify the dashboard:

  1. Import it to New Relic
  2. Edit widgets through the UI
  3. Export the modified dashboard
  4. Replace dashboard.json with your customized version
