dicer info

Show the daemon, and how much of its host is in use

Synopsis

Shows the daemon, how it is reached, and how much of its host’s CPU, memory and disk is in use.

An instance holds its vCPUs and memory while it is starting, running or paused. A start that would take more than the host allows is refused; what it allows is its CPUs and memory, less a reserve, stretched by the overcommit set in the daemon’s configuration. Disk is reported, not enforced: disks are sparse, and what an instance has been given says little about what it will write.

With –format json or yaml, prints the daemon’s own records of the host and its resources, for scripts.

Options inherited from parent commands 

  -D, --debug              Trace every call to the daemon on stderr (or set $DICER_DEBUG)
  -r, --remote string      Daemon to talk to: a remote's name, or an address (unix:///PATH or HOST:PORT) (default $DICER_REMOTE, then the current remote, then local)
      --timeout duration   Give up on a call to the daemon after this long, e.g. 30s (0: never; streams such as logs -f and exec are not bounded)
