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 has native support for Docker containers and should support just about any other container type out of the box. We strive for support across the board so feel free to open an issue if that is not the case. cAdvisor's container abstraction is based on lmctfy's so containers are inherently nested hierarchically. To quickly tryout cAdvisor on your machine with Docker, we have a Docker image that includes everything you need to get started. You can run a single cAdvisor to monitor the whole machine.
Features
- cAdvisor supports exporting stats to various storage plugins
- cAdvisor exposes its raw and processed stats via a versioned remote REST API
- There is also an official Go client implementation in the client directory
- cAdvisor aims to improve the resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers
- Provide usage prediction to cluster schedulers and orchestration layers
- Auto-tune the performance of the container based on previous advise
