# Docker info metricset
The Docker `info` metricset collects system-wide information based on the [Docker Remote API](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.24/#/display-system-wide-information).
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

## Fields

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the [exported fields](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/beats/metricbeat/exported-fields-docker) section.
Here is an example document generated by this metricset:
