Using the docker-container-stats Command

Display a live stream of resource usage statistics for containers. More information: <https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/stats/>.

  • Display a live stream for the statistics of all running containers:

docker *[stats|container stats]*

  • Display a live stream of statistics for one or more containers:

docker *[stats|container stats]* *container1 container2 ...*

  • Change the columns format to display container’s CPU usage percentage:

docker *[stats|container stats]* --format "*.Name*:\t*.CPUPerc*"

  • Display statistics for all containers (both running and stopped):

docker *[stats|container stats]* *[-a|--all]*

  • Disable streaming stats and only pull the current stats:

docker *[stats|container stats]* --no-stream
