User would like the supervisor API to report CPU load and temperature

[pdcastro]

I would like to know if there is a way to know the CPU consumption and the temperature of the robot in a given time. Maybe a curl request to the supervisor or any similar mean.
By the temperature of the robot, we mean indeed the temperature of the CPU. [...] I was thinking about something similar to the interactions with the supervisor as found in here

I mentioned creating a /device/metrics endpoint in our spec for improving the API https://github.com/balena-io/balena-io/pull/2377

Seems like a good ask.

The spec balena-io/balena-io#2377 is private and is being worked on, but in essence it relates to making sure Supervisor has a full-featured, consistent set of v2 API endpoints. Since the demand is there, I think it's a good idea to add a GET /v2/device/metrics which returns device metrics & checks in the same format as reported to the cloud in the current state when queried.

It would be super helpful for me as well to be able to get this info using the supervisor api. Is there any update on how this is progressing?

Hi @ngelotte, I'm hoping to get started on API internal refactoring soon and adding this endpoint will be part of that. Provided that something urgent doesn't come up, this is high my my list of priorities.

Awesome. Excited to see it when it launches.
