Container metrics
Learn about key container metrics displayed in the Infrastructure UI:
These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.
For Docker container metrics, the Infrastructure UI and inventory rules only support metric data collected by the Docker integration. If you're using Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry and these views appear empty, refer to Kubernetes Pods and Docker Containers views empty when using EDOT.
| 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.
For Kubernetes container metrics, the Infrastructure UI and inventory rules only support metric data collected by the Kubernetes integration. If you're using Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry and these views appear empty, refer to Kubernetes Pods and Docker Containers views empty when using EDOT.
