# stats

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

Display a live stream of container(s) resource usage statistics

Options:
  -a, --all             Show all containers (default shows just running)
      --format string   Pretty-print images using a Go template
      --help            Print usage
      --no-stream       Disable streaming stats and only pull the first result
```

## Description

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 against a Linux daemon.

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

Running `docker stats` on multiple containers by name and id against a Linux daemon.

```bash
$ docker stats fervent_panini 5acfcb1b4fd1

### Formatting

The formatting option (`--format`) pretty prints container output
using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder  | Description
------------ | --------------------------------------------
`.Container` | Container name or ID (user input)
`.Name`      | Container name
`.ID`        | Container ID
`.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
{% raw %}
$ docker stats --format "{{.Container}}: {{.CPUPerc}}"

09d3bb5b1604: 6.61%
9db7aa4d986d: 9.19%
3f214c61ad1d: 0.00%
{% endraw %}
```

To list all containers statistics with their name, CPU percentage and memory
usage in a table format you can use:

```bash
{% raw %}
$ 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
{% endraw %}
```
