• npm module for reading cgroupv2 RAM and CPU metrics.
• Reads from /sys/fs/cgroup/.
• Useful for kubernetes probes : readiness, liveness or prestop, all available since v1.25

npm install @mercure/cgroupv2-metrics

• You can use those metrics to have more control over kubernetes pods :

A pod has a heavy load incoming, and you do not want that pod to be reached by kubernetes internal load-balancer. Since kubernetes does not provide load-balancer over resources consumption, you can use a readiness probe, which check metrics every "x" seconds and trigger the probe if RAM and/or CPU are overloaded. This probe will eject the pod from load-balancer by setting the pod "unavailable". Once consumption will decrease to an acceptable level, probe trigger will stop and the pod will be available from load-balancer again.

• Check examples folder to see how k8s probes can be implemented
