Container Monitoring: Health and Resource Use for Every Container

You can now track the health and resource use of every container you run, so you notice a struggling container before it affects your application. Atatus Container Monitoring discovers containers on its own and tracks their CPU, memory, disk and network I/O and state.

It works with Docker, Docker Compose and Docker Swarm, with the agent running as a sidecar container or inside your own image. Kubernetes pods and containers are covered by Kubernetes Monitoring.

Container Monitoring: Health and Resource Use for Every Container

What you can do

  • Discover containers automatically: New containers are picked up as they start, including short-lived ones, and their metrics are tracked over time.
  • Right-size CPU and memory: See how much CPU and memory each container uses, so you can set resource limits that fit.
  • Find I/O bottlenecks: Monitor disk reads and writes and network traffic for each container.
  • Check state and restarts: See whether a container is running, paused or stopped, and how often it restarts, which can point to stability issues.
  • Cut waste: Find over-provisioned or underused containers and reclaim the capacity.
  • See all hosts in one view: Run the agent on every host and all containers report into one Containers view.
