# Docker healthcheck metricset
The Docker `healthcheck` metricset collects healthcheck status metrics about running Docker containers.
Healthcheck data will only be available from docker containers where the docker `HEALTHCHECK` instruction has been used to build the docker image.
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/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2763/reference/beats/metricbeat/exported-fields-docker) section.
Here is an example document generated by this metricset:
