View and manage millions of containers in context.
Container Explorer displays a global view of all of the containers in an account.
CPU, Memory and Disk I/O is presented in a space efficient heat map.
Clicking on a node in the heatmap displays details about that container, and jumps to its host in the entity explorer.
Requires New Relic Infrastructure agent deployed on hosts running Docker containers.
Requires node 16
We generate per-container CPU etc by summarizing all processes in a given containerId. For example, this query will report CPU for a single container for the last minute:
SELECT sum(cpuPercent) FROM ProcessSample WHERE containerId = '${containerId}'
SINCE 1 minute ago UNTIL 30 seconds agoHowever: This will report an accurate value only if the agent reports one ProcessSample per process every 30 seconds. If the agent reports once every 15 second, then we would get 2x the value for this query. I'm looking to add a capability to estimate the reporting rate per process per container, but note that this reporting rate can vary by host depending on agent config.
If a set of viewed containers all report a the same rate heatmap colorization will be consistent irrespective of an agent's reporting rate. But the reported absolute values may be off.
The infrastructure team is working on agent changes that will properly report by container, at which point we can convert to using that data.
