From my testing, Toolbox forwards through SSH (i.e. through Coder) a remote port associated with the IDErunning in server mode, to localhost in order for the server (i.e. the remote IDE) to communicate withJBClient. Unlike with Gateway, Toolbox manages to reuse the SSH connection, and it doesn't open a separateone for port forwarding.From Gateway we inherited two ssh hostnames per each workspace, one for background connections that did notinvolve running IDEs. Coder discards the bg. connection from the collected metrics in order toavoid double counting. Since Toolbox manages to re-use the connection we don't need to worryabout double counting.For this particular change, I deployed the latest Coder version with prometheus metrics and experimentsenabled (i.e. --prometheus-enable --prometheus-collect-agent-stats --experiments=workspace-usage) and made the following experiment:1. Opened up Toolbox, logged into Coder. At this point:- agent_sessions_total and coderd_agentstats_session_count_jetbrains were missing from prometheus metrics- jetbrains session count from api/v2/deployment/stats showed 02. Opened up a Workspace at which point Toolbox established the SSH connection:- agent_sessions_total and coderd_agentstats_session_count_jetbrains increased to 1- jetbrains session count from api/v2/deployment/stats increased to 1 as well3. Hit the install button on RustRover, everything stayed unchanged4. Open RustRover, nothing changes in the stats.
