Resource monitor

The resource monitor samples Rexa, each terminal, each language server, the extension host and the file watchers once a second. It lives in the status bar.

Status bar item

The item, a CPU icon, stays blank while everything is within budget. When something stays over budget for three samples in a row, the item names it, such as Rexa 3.2G.

Click the item for a popup with one section each for App, Terminals, Language servers, Extensions and Watchers. Rows show CPU and memory; watcher rows show events per second and how long git status takes. Hover a row for details.

Actions

Rows over the critical budget get an action. Each one asks first; nothing runs on its own.

Budgets

Each kind takes a [warn, critical] pair. CPU is a percentage of one core; memory is in GB.

Watchers have eventsPerSec 200 / 1000 and gitStatusMs 2000 / 10000. Override any of them in settings:

{
  "resources": {
    "terminal": { "cpu": [200, 400], "memoryGb": [4, 8] }
  }
}
