Command to list app memory & disk usage (as was removed from cf apps)

[Luthien-in-edhil]

I just discovered that the information about instances, memory, and disk was removed from the cf apps command in CF CLI v7.

Unfortunately, this makes it a lot harder to create an overview of the memory & disk usage of our organisation's application stack, because I now need to cf app on every application separately to compile those data. This adds up to a rather tedious job for the nearly 100 apps we have running instead of the few seconds that it used to take.

Therefore I was trying to figure out how to add the missing columns and was a bit puzzled to read in Upgrading to CLI v7 doc that this functionality was removed altogether; and I couldn't find any other way to achieve the same summary overview.

In this particular case I use that as part of our carbon footprint reporting, but it would be useful for anyone who is interested in an overview of their application's memory / disk usage.

I can imagine that those columns were removed to improve readability, but if it was available as a switch - for instance, cf apps -m (show memory column), cf apps -d (show disk column) it wouldn't get in the way, either :)

Thanks! Lúthien

Hello @Luthien-in-edhil, thanks for submitting this request!

This removal happened because of a switch to using the /v3/apps endpoint as opposed to the v2 apps summary endpoint. There isn't an equivlant apps summary endpoint in v3, although this has been previously requested on a cloud controller issue

This might be something worth considering though, @a-b @piyalibanerjee @sethboyles, either in the CLI or in the Cloud Controller as this isn't the first time we've had requests for this.
