cAdvisor
cAdvisor is a container resource usage monitor providing detailed insights into container performance and resource allocation.
Description
cAdvisor (Container Advisor) is a daemon that monitors and analyzes resource usage and performance of containers. It collects detailed data on resource isolation parameters, historical resource usage, and network statistics for individual containers and the entire machine. This information is then exported, providing insights into container behavior. It offers native support for Docker containers and is designed to support other container types. cAdvisor presents its findings through a web UI and a REST API. Its hierarchical container abstraction allows for monitoring of nested containers.
