Docker Container Monitoring

Docker Container Monitoring utilizes the Docker API to monitor the status of Docker containers. You can not only use it to monitor the running status of local Docker containers, but also to monitor containers on each node of Kubernetes, as well as containers on EC2 instances of AWS ECS, to obtain more comprehensive data. It provides insights into CPU usage, memory usage, IO usage, and network traffic for each container.
