Under the "Additional environment information". Unfortunately it was not possible any other way. The description property is modifiable however Toolbox renders the description label only as long as the SSH connection is not established. As soon as an ssh connection is running the description label is used as mechanism to notify users about available IDE updates. It also appears that we can't have any other extra tab, other than "Tools", "Projects" and "Settings". There is a secondary information attribute API, but it is not usable to show recurring metrics info because it can only be configured once, it is not a mutable field. The best effort was to add the information in the Settings page, and it is worth highlighting that the metrics are only refreshed when user either: - switches between tabs - expands/collapses the "Additional environment information" section. There is no programmatic mechanism to notify the information in the Settings page that latency changed. The network metrics are loaded from the pid files created by the ssh command. Toolbox spawns a native process running the SSH client. The ssh client then spawns another process which is associated to the coder proxy command. SSH network metrics are saved into json files with the name equal to the pid of the ssh command (not to be confused with the proxy command's name). - resolves #100 - resolves #101

Ideally Toolbox workspaces can show network performance metrics similar to VSCode:
coder can provide the ssh metrics if
