Docker High CPU usage
See what containers are using system resources:
- docker stats --all
- docker stats --all --format "table Template:.ID\tTemplate:.Name\tTemplate:.CPUPerc\tTemplate:.MemUsage"
Check specific container for process:
- docker ps | grep <container id>
Check the logs for high cpu use container:
- docker logs --tail 100 <container Id>
Follow live logs:
