## Description
2015-10-03 08:53:25 -04:00
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.
2015-06-21 16:41:38 -04:00
2016-09-25 10:07:15 -04:00
If you want more detailed information about a container's resource usage, use the `/containers/(id)/stats` API endpoint.

> **Note**: On Linux, the Docker CLI reports memory usage by subtracting page cache usage from the total memory usage. The API does not perform such a calculation but rather provides the total memory usage and the amount from the page cache so that clients can use the data as needed.

Running `docker stats` with customized format on all (Running and Stopped) containers.
```bash
2017-09-27 12:24:26 -04:00
$ docker stats --all --format "table {{.Container}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}" fervent_panini 5acfcb1b4fd1 drunk_visvesvaraya big_heisenberg
CONTAINER CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT
fervent_panini 0.00% 56KiB / 15.57GiB
5acfcb1b4fd1 0.07% 32.86MiB / 15.57GiB
drunk_visvesvaraya 0.00% 0B / 0B
big_heisenberg 0.00% 0B / 0B
2017-02-15 01:20:30 -05:00
```
`drunk_visvesvaraya` and `big_heisenberg` are stopped containers in the above example.

### Formatting
2016-09-25 10:07:15 -04:00
The formatting option (`--format`) pretty prints container output
using a Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
Placeholder | Description
------------ | --------------------------------------------
2016-11-16 09:26:29 -05:00
`.Container` | Container name or ID (user input)
`.Name` | Container name
`.ID` | Container ID
2016-09-25 10:07:15 -04:00
`.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:
```bash
$ 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:
```bash
$ 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
```
2017-09-27 12:24:26 -04:00
The default format is as follows:
On Linux:
"table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}\t{{.NetIO}}\t{{.BlockIO}}\t{{.PIDs}}"
On Windows:
"table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.NetIO}}\t{{.BlockIO}}"
> **Note**: On Docker 17.09 and older, the `{{.Container}}` column was used, in
> stead of `{{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}`.
