# Docker network_summary metricset
<warning>
  This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
</warning>

The `network_summary` metricset collects detailed network metrics from the processes associated with a container. These stats come from `/proc/[PID]/net`, and are summed across the different namespaces found across the PIDs.
Because this metricset will try to access network counters from procfs, it is only available on linux.

## Fields

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the [exported fields](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/assembled-docs/2379/reference/beats/metricbeat/exported-fields-docker) section.
Here is an example document generated by this metricset:
