Docker container metrics

edit

If you haven’t already, you need to install and configure Metricbeat to populate the Metrics app with data. For more information, see Ingest metrics.

To ingest metrics from running Docker containers, use the Docker image for Metricbeat. For more information, see Running Metricbeat on Docker.

To help you analyze the Docker container metrics listed on the Inventory page, you can select view filters based on the following predefined metrics or you can add custom metrics.

CPU Usage

Average of docker.cpu.total.pct.

Memory Usage

Average of docker.memory.usage.pct.

Inbound Traffic

Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.in.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.

Outbound Traffic

Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.out.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.

For information about which required fields the Metrics app uses to display Docker container metrics, see the Metrics field reference.
