Analyzes resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers
Description
Analyzes resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers
cAdvisor (Container Advisor) provides container users an understanding of the
resource usage and performance characteristics of their running containers.
It is a running daemon that collects, aggregates, processes, and exports
information about running containers. Specifically, for each container it keeps
resource isolation parameters, historical resource usage, histograms of
complete historical resource usage and network statistics. This data is
exported by container and machine-wide.
cAdvisor currently supports lmctfy containers as well as Docker containers
(those that use the default libcontainer execdriver). Other container backends
can also be added. cAdvisor's container abstraction is based on lmctfy's
so containers are inherently nested hierarchically.
