# Containers
<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/container.svg" width="150"/>
Plugin: cgroups.plugin
Module: /sys/fs/cgroup
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
## Overview
Monitor Containers for performance, resource usage, and health status.
This collector is supported on all platforms.
This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
### Default Behavior
#### Auto-Detection
This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
#### Limits
The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
#### Performance Impact
The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
## Metrics
Metrics grouped by *scope*.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
### Per cgroup
Labels:
| Label | Description |
|:-----------|:----------------|
| container_name | The container name or group path if name resolution fails. |
| image | Docker/Podman container image name. |
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| cgroup.cpu_limit | used | percentage |
| cgroup.cpu | user, system | percentage |
| cgroup.cpu_per_core | a dimension per core | percentage |

| cgroup.io | read, write | KiB/s |
| cgroup.serviced_ops | read, write | operations/s |
| cgroup.throttle_io | read, write | KiB/s |
| cgroup.throttle_serviced_ops | read, write | operations/s |
| cgroup.queued_ops | read, write | operations |
| cgroup.merged_ops | read, write | operations/s |
| cgroup.cpu_some_pressure | some10, some60, some300 | percentage |

| cgroup.pids_current | pids | pids |
### Per cgroup network device
Labels:
| Label | Description |
|:-----------|:----------------|
| container_name | The container name or group path if name resolution fails. |
| image | Docker/Podman container image name. |
| device | The name of the host network interface linked to the container's network interface. |
| container_device | Container network interface name. |
| interface_type | Network interface type. Always "virtual" for the containers. |
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| cgroup.net_net | received, sent | kilobits/s |
| cgroup.net_packets | received, sent, multicast | pps |
| cgroup.net_errors | inbound, outbound | errors/s |
| cgroup.net_drops | inbound, outbound | errors/s |
| cgroup.net_fifo | receive, transmit | errors/s |
| cgroup.net_compressed | receive, sent | pps |
| cgroup.net_events | frames, collisions, carrier | events/s |
| cgroup.net_operstate | up, down, notpresent, lowerlayerdown, testing, dormant, unknown | state |
| cgroup.net_carrier | up, down | state |
| cgroup.net_mtu | mtu | octets |
