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
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.

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:
$ 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:
$ 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
