Custom format

$ docker container stats --format "{{.Name}}: {{.CPUPerc}}"

SYNOPSIS

docker container stats [options] [container...]

docker container stats displays a live stream of container resource usage statistics, providing real-time visibility into CPU percentage, memory usage and limit, network I/O, and block I/O for running containers.By default, the display continuously updates with current metrics for all running containers. The --no-stream option provides a single snapshot instead of continuous updates, which is useful for scripting and automation.

PARAMETERS

--no-stream

Disable streaming, show single snapshot.

-a, --all

Show all containers (default shows running).

--format string

Format output using Go template. Placeholders: .Container, .Name, .ID, .CPUPerc, .MemUsage, .MemPerc, .NetIO, .BlockIO, .PIDs.

--no-trunc

Do not truncate output (show full container IDs).

INSTALL

sudo apt install docker-cli

sudo dnf install docker-cli

sudo pacman -S docker

sudo apk add docker-cli

sudo zypper install docker

brew install docker

CAVEATS

On Linux, memory usage includes cache by default. Network I/O shows cumulative totals since container start, not per-second rates. Stats are not available for containers using the host network mode on some platforms.
