Summary

Agent Resource Usage is a tool that provides comprehensive visibility into the CPU and memory consumption of Continuous Integration (CI) agents at the task level, enabling teams to optimize their CI infrastructure effectively. This feature addresses the common issue of lacking insight into resource usage, which often leaves developers guessing about the causes of failures, such as out-of-memory errors or timeouts. By offering both a summary and detailed view of resource consumption, users can quickly identify problematic agents and pinpoint specific tasks causing issues. This data-driven approach allows teams to right-size their agents, debug memory leaks, optimize task parallelization, and track performance regressions, ultimately leading to cost savings, improved developer productivity, and proactive optimization of CI systems. The tool is integrated into the Nx Cloud platform and is available for Nx Enterprise customers, supporting both Nx Agents and Manual Distributed Task Execution setups.
