Workspace resource usage insights

May 1, 2026

Contributed by:

Citrix Secure Developer Spaces™ (SDS) provides historical insights into workspace CPU and memory usage. This data is automatically collected and stored in the SDS database to support rightsizing analysis and long-term trend evaluation.

By leveraging this data, customers can:

Analyze CPU and memory consumption for each workspace over time.
Identify optimal resource allocation for workspaces.
Reduce infrastructure costs while maintaining a high-quality developer experience.

Requirements

To enable the collection of workspace metrics, the Kubernetes Metrics Server must be installed. This component aggregates resource usage data across Kubernetes clusters and is commonly deployed in cloud-hosted environments or any setup that uses autoscaling.

For installation instructions and additional details, see the Kubernetes Metrics Server documentation

Data collection and storage

SDS automatically consolidates the raw measurement data every five minutes and provides the following data points for the previous 5-minute interval:

Minimum, Maximum, Average, P50, P75, P95, and P99

Access workspace measurements

Workspace measurement data is available through the management console and via API.

Download from the management console

Platform administrators and security officers can download workspace measurements as a file from Platform Settings > Analytics & Privacy > System Analytics.

Download Workspace Measurements section showing organization, project, and date filters

Available filters:

Organization — Select a specific organization or keep All Organizations to include data from every organization.
Project — Select a specific project or keep All Projects to include data from every project.
Date — Specify a start and end date, or select All Dates to download the complete measurement history.

To download workspace measurements:

Navigate to Platform Settings > Analytics & Privacy > System Analytics.
In the Download Workspace Measurements section, select an organization, project, and date range.
Select Download.

For more information about the System Analytics page, see System Analytics.

Access via API

Data is available in both raw and aggregated formats via API. Customers can access metrics at the platform, organization, and project levels.

For raw data, use the workspace-measurements-samples API (for example, /v1/metrics/workspace-measurements-samples).
For aggregated data, use the workspace-measurements API (for example, /v1/projects/{projectId}/metrics/workspace-measurements).

For API documentation and usage examples, see the Secure Developer Spaces API documentation.
