What is container monitoring?
Container monitoring is the process of collecting metrics, traces, logs, and other observability data to improve the health and performance of containerized applications. Monitoring Docker containers is inherently challenging due to their highly dynamic nature. Having real-time insights and actionable answers on how to remedy anomalies helps DevOps and container platform teams automate container operations and focus on innovation.
Tame your containerized applications
With automatic workload instrumentation in dynamic container environments, collect high fidelity observability data and trace every transaction without blind-spots across multicloud and hybrid environments. Automate problem remediation with AI-assisted root cause analysis and focus on innovation instead.
Many container workloads, one agent
While other monitoring solutions require an agent for every different technology, Dynatrace sees it all with a single agent. With the Dynatrace OneAgent you don’t need to know what’s running in every Docker container, and you don’t need to modify container images or code. Just install the OneAgent and Dynatrace does the rest.

Monitoring a microservice and containerized environment with traditional monitoring tools is both cumbersome and ineffective. Dynatrace’s ability to give container level metrics and application performance with a single install on the host dramatically reduces the effort required to maintain our environment.
