How can I monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, I/O) of running Docker containers?

Monitoring resource usage inside the Docker containers is very important for keeping performance in check and being able to notice issues when they start. The question will look into the tools and methodologies you would use to monitor CPU, memory, I/O, and other metrics of active containers. This might also include container-specific monitoring solutions, alerting configurations, and how you would interpret data for proactive system management and troubleshooting.

The thing which is really important in terms of maintaining stable performance for the Docker containers is monitoring them. This is how I do it.

Docker Stats Command: One of the docker stats commands available in Docker, that shows the CPU, memory and I/O statistics in real-time. Useful for quick glimpse but doesn't give any history.

Prometheus with cAdvisor: To continuously monitor things, I make use of Prometheus and cAdvisor. cAdvisor aggregates metrics at the container level. Then, Prometheus scrapes the metrics and stores them in order for me to analyze it later on Grafana. It gives both the live and historical trends.

Datadog for Large Scale: The container monitoring with Datadog provides insights into more granular elements, especially useful in very large Kubernetes clusters or environments across multiple clouds. Easy setup of alerts on the basis of resource thresholds because of out-of-the-box dashboards.

Alerting and Anomaly Detection: Alerts set based on the collected metrics about unusual CPU or memory usage. This allows the management to be proactive on such issues, which leads to a reduced chance of downtime because of resources.
