Docker container metrics
edit

These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.

CPU usage metricsedit
Metric Description

CPU Usage (%)

Average CPU for the container.

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

Memory metricsedit
Metric Description

Memory Usage (%)

Average memory usage for the container.

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

Network metricsedit
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)

Disk metricsedit
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: *')

Kubernetes container metrics
edit

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

CPU usage metricsedit
Metric Description

CPU Usage (%)

Average CPU for the container.

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

Memory metricsedit
Metric Description

Memory Usage (%)

Average memory usage for the container.

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