# stats

    Usage: docker stats [OPTIONS] [CONTAINER...]

    Display a live stream of one or more containers' resource usage statistics

      -a, --all          Show all containers (default shows just running)
      --help             Print usage
      --no-stream        Disable streaming stats and only pull the first result

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.

If you want more detailed information about a container's resource usage, use the `/containers/(id)/stats` API endpoint. 

## Examples

Running `docker stats` on all running containers

    $ docker stats
    CONTAINER           CPU %               MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %               NET I/O             BLOCK I/O
