Docker Metrics Cheatsheet

Comprehensive monitoring into the health and performance of your Docker environment

Docker is an open-source platform used to automatically build and deploy software inside containers.

With Datadog’s preconfigured Docker dashboard, you can get deep visibility into your Docker containers. Right out of the box, Datadog collects CPU, memory, I/O, network, and container state metrics and visualizes them on pre-build dashboards for instant monitoring. Use the Datadog Docker Agent, our containerized version of our agent, to capture metrics directly from your containers.

Get metrics from Docker in real time in order to:

• Visualize your containers’ performance
• Correlate the performance of containers with the applications running on them
