Docker container monitoring now generally available!

While Docker container monitoring has been in beta for a while now, beginning with OneAgent v1.99, Docker container monitoring is now generally available to all customers.

With Docker container support, you can:

• View a summary of the most relevant Docker metrics, such as the number of running containers, the top 3 containers based on memory consumption, and the most frequently used images.
• Gain a deep understanding of container resource usage.
• Track image versions.
• Explore performance of Dockerized services.
