Monitor resources consuming on docker containers

The simply way to monitor resources on container is using the command Docker stats.

docker stats

This command will display a live stream resource usage statistics of all containers:

  • CPU % usage
  • Memory usage, limit
  • Network i/o
  • Disk i/o
CONTAINER ID        NAME                CPU %               MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %               NET I/O             BLOCK I/O           PIDS

You also can monitor a specific container ids by add its IDs like this:

admin@ubuntu:~$ docker stats 6276d4fa1715 7c6caae3fb58
