Container metrics
Learn about key container metrics displayed in the Infrastructure UI:
These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.
Note
For Docker container metrics, the Infrastructure UI and inventory rules only support metric data collected by the Docker integration.
| Filter | event.module : "docker" |
Used to filter relevant data. |
| Identifier | container.id |
Used to identify each entity. |
| Display value | container.name |
Used as a display friendly value. |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU Usage (%) | Average CPU for the container. Field Calculation: average(docker.cpu.total.pct) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Memory Usage (%) | Average memory usage for the container. Field Calculation: average(docker.memory.usage.pct) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Inbound Traffic (RX) | Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.in.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.Field Calculation: average(docker.network.inbound.bytes) * 8 / (max(metricset.period, kql='docker.network.inbound.bytes: *') / 1000) |
| Outbound Traffic (TX) | Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.out.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.Field Calculation: average(docker.network.outbound.bytes) * 8 / (max(metricset.period, kql='docker.network.outbound.bytes: *') / 1000) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Disk Read IOPS | Average count of read operations from the device per second. Field Calculation: counter_rate(max(docker.diskio.read.ops), kql='docker.diskio.read.ops: *') |
| Disk Write IOPS | Average count of write operations from the device per second. Field Calculation: counter_rate(max(docker.diskio.write.ops), kql='docker.diskio.write.ops: *') |
These are the key metrics displayed for Kubernetes (containerd) containers.
Note
For Kubernetes container metrics, the Infrastructure UI and inventory rules only support metric data collected by the Kubernetes integration.
| Filter | event.module : "kubernetes" |
Used to filter relevant data. |
| Identifier | container.id |
Used to identify each entity. |
| Display value | container.name |
Used as a display friendly value. |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU Usage (%) | Average CPU for the container. Field Calculation: average(kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.limit.pct) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Memory Usage (%) | Average memory usage for the container. Field Calculation: average(kubernetes.container.memory.usage.limit.pct) |
