Container metrics
Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

These are the key metrics displayed for Docker containers.
For Docker container metrics, the Infrastructure UI and inventory rules only support metric data collected by the Docker integration. If you're using Elastic OpenTelemetry and these views appear empty, refer to Kubernetes Pods and Docker Containers views empty when using Elastic OpenTelemetry.

| Filter | event.module : "docker" |
Used to filter relevant data. |
| Identifier | container.id |
Used to identify each entity. |
| Display value | container.name |
Used as a display friendly value. |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU Usage (%) | Average CPU for the container. Field Calculation: average(docker.cpu.total.pct) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Memory Usage (%) | Average memory usage for the container. Field Calculation: average(docker.memory.usage.pct) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Inbound Traffic (RX) | Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.in.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.Field Calculation: average(docker.network.inbound.bytes) * 8 / (max(metricset.period, kql='docker.network.inbound.bytes: *') / 1000) |
| Outbound Traffic (TX) | Derivative of the maximum of docker.network.out.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.Field Calculation: average(docker.network.outbound.bytes) * 8 / (max(metricset.period, kql='docker.network.outbound.bytes: *') / 1000) |
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Disk Read IOPS | Average count of read operations from the device per second. Field Calculation: counter_rate(max(docker.diskio.read.ops), kql='docker.diskio.read.ops: *') |
| Disk Write IOPS | Average count of write operations from the device per second. Field Calculation: counter_rate(max(docker.diskio.write.ops), kql='docker.diskio.write.ops: *') |
