--- title: "stats" description: "The stats command description and usage" keywords: "container, resource, statistics" --- # stats ```markdown Usage: docker stats [OPTIONS] [CONTAINER...] Display a live stream of container(s) resource usage statistics Options: -a, --all Show all containers (default shows just running) --format string Pretty-print images using a Go template --help Print usage --no-stream Disable streaming stats and only pull the first result ``` ## Description The `docker stats` 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. If you want more detailed information about a container's resource usage, use the `/containers/(id)/stats` API endpoint. ## Examples Running `docker stats` on all running containers against a Linux daemon. ```bash $ docker stats CONTAINER CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET I/O BLOCK I/O 1285939c1fd3 0.07% 796 KiB / 64 MiB 1.21% 788 B / 648 B 3.568 MB / 512 KB 9c76f7834ae2 0.07% 2.746 MiB / 64 MiB 4.29% 1.266 KB / 648 B 12.4 MB / 0 B d1ea048f04e4 0.03% 4.583 MiB / 64 MiB 6.30% 2.854 KB / 648 B 27.7 MB / 0 B ``` Running `docker stats` on multiple containers by name and id against a Linux daemon. ```bash $ docker stats fervent_panini 5acfcb1b4fd1 CONTAINER CPU % MEM USAGE/LIMIT MEM % NET I/O 5acfcb1b4fd1 0.00% 115.2 MiB/1.045 GiB 11.03% 1.422 kB/648 B fervent_panini 0.02% 11.08 MiB/1.045 GiB 1.06% 648 B/648 B ``` Running `docker stats` with customized format on all (Running and Stopped) containers. ```bash $ docker stats --all --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}" CONTAINER ID NAME CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT c9dfa83f0317f87637d5b7e67aa4223337d947215c5a9947e697e4f7d3e0f834 ecstatic_noether 0.00% 56KiB / 15.57GiB 8f92d01cf3b29b4f5fca4cd33d907e05def7af5a3684711b20a2369d211ec67f stoic_goodall 0.07% 32.86MiB / 15.57GiB 38dd23dba00f307d53d040c1d18a91361bbdcccbf592315927d56cf13d8b7343 drunk_visvesvaraya 0.00% 0B / 0B 5a8b07ec4cc52823f3cbfdb964018623c1ba307bce2c057ccdbde5f4f6990833 big_heisenberg 0.00% 0B / 0B ``` `drunk_visvesvaraya` and `big_heisenberg` are stopped containers in the above example. Running `docker stats` on all running containers against a Windows daemon. ```powershell PS E:\> docker stats CONTAINER CPU % PRIV WORKING SET NET I/O BLOCK I/O 09d3bb5b1604 6.61% 38.21 MiB 17.1 kB / 7.73 kB 10.7 MB / 3.57 MB 9db7aa4d986d 9.19% 38.26 MiB 15.2 kB / 7.65 kB 10.6 MB / 3.3 MB 3f214c61ad1d 0.00% 28.64 MiB 64 kB / 6.84 kB 4.42 MB / 6.93 MB ``` Running `docker stats` on multiple containers by name and id against a Windows daemon. ```powershell PS E:\> docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 3f214c61ad1d nanoserver "cmd" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes big_minsky 9db7aa4d986d windowsservercore "cmd" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes mad_wilson 09d3bb5b1604 windowsservercore "cmd" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes affectionate_easley PS E:\> docker stats 3f214c61ad1d mad_wilson CONTAINER CPU % PRIV WORKING SET NET I/O BLOCK I/O 3f214c61ad1d 0.00% 46.25 MiB 76.3 kB / 7.92 kB 10.3 MB / 14.7 MB mad_wilson 9.59% 40.09 MiB 27.6 kB / 8.81 kB 17 MB / 20.1 MB ``` ### Formatting The formatting option (`--format`) pretty prints container output using a Go template. Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below: Placeholder | Description ------------ | -------------------------------------------- `.Container` | Container name or ID (user input) `.Name` | Container name `.ID` | Container ID `.CPUPerc` | CPU percentage `.MemUsage` | Memory usage `.NetIO` | Network IO `.BlockIO` | Block IO `.MemPerc` | Memory percentage (Not available on Windows) `.PIDs` | Number of PIDs (Not available on Windows) When using the `--format` option, the `stats` command either outputs the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the `table` directive, includes column headers as well. The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the `Container` and `CPUPerc` entries separated by a colon for all images: ```bash $ docker stats --format "{{.Container}}: {{.CPUPerc}}" 09d3bb5b1604: 6.61% 9db7aa4d986d: 9.19% 3f214c61ad1d: 0.00% ``` To list all containers statistics with their name, CPU percentage and memory usage in a table format you can use: ```bash $ docker stats --format "table {{.Container}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}" CONTAINER CPU % PRIV WORKING SET 1285939c1fd3 0.07% 796 KiB / 64 MiB 9c76f7834ae2 0.07% 2.746 MiB / 64 MiB d1ea048f04e4 0.03% 4.583 MiB / 64 MiB ```
