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.
