Learn about key container metrics displayed in the Infrastructure app:

Docker container metrics

edit

These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.

CPU usage metrics

edit

Metric Description

Metric	Description
CPU Usage (%)	Average CPU for the container. Field Calculation: `average(docker.cpu.total.pct)`

CPU Usage (%)

Average CPU for the container.

Field Calculation: average(docker.cpu.total.pct)

Memory metrics

edit

Metric Description

Metric	Description
Memory Usage (%)	Average memory usage for the container. Field Calculation: `average(docker.memory.usage.pct)`

Memory Usage (%)

Average memory usage for the container.

Field Calculation: average(docker.memory.usage.pct)

Network metrics

edit

Metric Description

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)`

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)

Disk metrics

edit

Metric Description

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: *')`

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: *')

Kubernetes container metrics

edit

These are the key metrics displayed for Kubernetes (containerd) containers.

CPU usage metrics

edit

Metric Description

Metric	Description
CPU Usage (%)	Average CPU for the container. Field Calculation: `average(kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.limit.pct)`

CPU Usage (%)

Average CPU for the container.

Field Calculation: average(kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.limit.pct)

Memory metrics

edit

Metric Description

Metric	Description
Memory Usage (%)	Average memory usage for the container. Field Calculation: `average(kubernetes.container.memory.usage.limit.pct)`

Memory Usage (%)

Average memory usage for the container.

Field Calculation: average(kubernetes.container.memory.usage.limit.pct)
