Per container statistics/data?

[naive oak]

I am very new to netdata, so I am hoping this solution is an easy one, as the issue is likely user error.

I am utilizing netdata on my Unraid server, and although I see charts that summarize information for all my containers, I dont see any information for each container (ie., cpu usage for a specific container, or network usage for a specific container).

I am starting Netdata with the following docker run command:

docker run
  -d
  --name='netdata'
  --net='host'
  -e TZ="America/New_York"
  -e HOST_OS="Unraid"
  -e HOST_HOSTNAME="UnraidServer"
  -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="netdata"
  -e 'PGID'='281'
  -e 'DO_NOT_TRACK'='1'
  -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman
  -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:19999]'
  -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Data-Monkey/docker-templates/master/Data-Monkey/img/netdata.png'
  -v '/proc':'/host/proc':'ro'
  -v '/sys':'/host/sys':'ro'
  -v '/var/run/docker.sock':'/var/run/docker.sock':'ro'
  --cap-add SYS_PTRACE
  --security-opt apparmor=unconfined
  --log-opt max-size=200m
  --log-opt max-file=1 'netdata/netdata'

The container portion of the overview pane looks like the attached image.

I also see at the top of that image the note about Charts show aggregated view across all containers by default, to visualize the metrics per container, change the Group by to instance Clicking the link for change the Group by to instance leads me to https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/monitor-your-infrastructure/home-overview-and-single-node-view#group-by-dimension-node-or-chart

That line may not be what I want though. I can see all the charts have a Group by drop down that is set to dimension. If I click that drop down menu, there is a system (instance) option. Should I be expecting a list of all my container names there?

Basically just wondering what I need to do to see charts on a per container basis. Thanks!

Hey. Check the "Containers and VMs" section.

In the Containers and VMs section I see the names of my containers. I guess I can modify these charts utilizing the cgroups drop down to select information specific to a certain container? I only see charts related to cpu, memory and disk usage. Is there a way to do something similar for network usage?

[jaunty mauve]

Yes. You have a menu on top of each chart. Change Group by from dimension to cgrop_name

Explore the menu 😃

There isnt a network traffic graph in the Containers and VMs section, and in the Network Interface charts, the closet thing I see is to select the interfaces drop down, which unfortunately are not tied to the container name, but it can probably be deduced manually somehow

[jaunty mauve]

you need --pid=host. See https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/docker

See "Privileges", it says pid host + SYS_ADMIN needed for container network interfaces monitoring
