docker: Change the columns format to display container's CPU usage percentage.
$ docker stats --format "${-Name}:\t${-CPUPerc}"
try on your machine
The command docker stats --format "${-Name}:\t${-CPUPerc}" is used to display container-level performance statistics using Docker.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
docker stats: This is the main command to display real-time container statistics such as CPU, memory, and network usage.--format: This flag specifies the format of the output. It allows you to define a format string to customize the displayed information."${-Name}:\t${-CPUPerc}": This is the format string used to define the output format. In this case, it consists of two placeholders:${-Name}and${-CPUPerc}which represent the container name and the CPU percentage usage respectively. The '\t' is an escape sequence for a tab character, used to separate the container name and CPU percentage in the output.
So, when you run the command docker stats --format "${-Name}:\t${-CPUPerc}", you will see a continuously updating stream of container names followed by a colon (:) and the corresponding CPU percentage usage, separated by a tab character.
