-| [`container.cpu.state`](/docs/attributes-registry/container.md) | string | The CPU state for this data point. A container's cpu time SHOULD be characterized _either_ by data points with no `state` labels, _or only_ data points with `state` labels. | `user`; `kernel` | `Opt-In` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |

A container's CPU metric SHOULD be characterized _either_ by data points with no `mode` labels, _or only_ data points with `mode` labels.
