How will you monitor Docker in production?

Docker provides tools like docker stats and docker events to monitor Docker in production. We can get reports on important statistics with these commands.

• Docker stats: When we call docker stats with a container id, we get the CPU, memory usage etc of a container. It is similar to top command in Linux.
• Docker events: Docker events are a command to see the stream of activities that are going on in Docker daemon.

Some of the common Docker events are: attach, commit, die, detach, rename, destroy etc. We can also use various options to limit or filter the events that we are interested in.
