Container metrics

[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

Docker container metrics

edit

These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.

CPU usage metricsedit

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 metricsedit

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 metricsedit

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 metricsedit

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 metricsedit

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 metricsedit

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)
