<h1>docker stats</h1>  <p><br></p> <p>Display a live stream of container(s) resource usage statistics</p> <h2 id="usage">Usage</h2> <div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight" data-language="">$ docker stats [OPTIONS] [CONTAINER...]
</pre></div> <p>Refer to the <a href="#options">options section</a> for an overview of available <a href="#options"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">OPTIONS</code></a> for this command.</p> <h2 id="description">Description</h2> <p name="extended-description">The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">docker stats</code> command returns a live data stream for running containers. To limit data to one or more specific containers, specify a list of container names or ids separated by a space. You can specify a stopped container but stopped containers do not return any data.</p> <p>If you need more detailed information about a container’s resource usage, use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/containers/(id)/stats</code> API endpoint.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note</strong></p> <p>On Linux, the Docker CLI reports memory usage by subtracting cache usage from the total memory usage. The API does not perform such a calculation but rather provides the total memory usage and the amount from the cache so that clients can use the data as needed. The cache usage is defined as the value of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">total_inactive_file</code> field in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">memory.stat</code> file on cgroup v1 hosts.</p> <p>On Docker 19.03 and older, the cache usage was defined as the value of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cache</code> field. On cgroup v2 hosts, the cache usage is defined as the value of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">inactive_file</code> field.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note</strong></p> <p>The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">PIDS</code> column contains the number of processes and kernel threads created by that container. Threads is the term used by Linux kernel. Other equivalent terms are “lightweight process” or “kernel task”, etc. A large number in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">PIDS</code> column combined with a small number of processes (as reported by <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ps</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">top</code>) may indicate that something in the container is creating many threads.</p> </blockquote> <p>For example uses of this command, refer to the <a href="#examples">examples section</a> below.</p> <h2 id="options">Options</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <td>Name, shorthand</td> <td>Default</td> <td>Description</td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>
