For AI agents: The documentation index is at https://docs.digitalocean.com/llms.txt. Markdown versions of pages use the same URL with index.html.md in place of the HTML page (for example, append index.html.md to the directory path instead of opening the HTML document).

You can view a DigitalOcean MicroVM’s state and endpoint with the Control Panel, doctl, or the API. The Control Panel also shows the MicroVM’s configuration and recent CPU and memory usage. For what each state means, see MicroVM Lifecycle.

Monitor a MicroVM Using the Control Panel

Go to the MicroVMs page, then select the MicroVM. The details page has Overview, Checkpoints, and Settings tabs.

The Overview tab shows the following:

• Header: The MicroVM’s status, region, and size.
• Endpoint: The MicroVM’s URL, after provisioning finishes.
• Configuration details: The region, vCPUs, memory, networking, image, and auto-pause setting.
• Insights (last hour): CPU and memory usage.

Monitor a MicroVM Using doctl

Show the MicroVM’s state and endpoint:

doctl compute microvm get <your-microvm-id>

To list all of your MicroVMs, run doctl compute microvm list. You can filter the list with --region, --name, and --tag-name. Filters combine with AND.

Monitor a MicroVM Using the API

Send a GET request to /v2/microvms/<your-microvm-id>. The response returns the state in state and the endpoint in urls. If the state is failed, failure_reason explains why.

curl -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/microvms/<your-microvm-id>"

To list all of your MicroVMs, send a GET request to /v2/microvms. You can filter the list with the region, name, and tag_name query parameters.
