podman-stats(1) General Commands Manual podman-stats(1)
NAME
podman-stats - Display a live stream of one or more container's resource
usage statistics
SYNOPSIS
podman stats [options] [container]
podman container stats [options] [container]
DESCRIPTION
Display a live stream of one or more containers' resource usage statis-
tics
Note: Podman stats does not work in rootless environments that use
CGroups V1. Podman stats relies on CGroup information for statistics,
and CGroup v1 is not supported for rootless use cases.
Note: Rootless environments that use CGroups V2 are not able to report
statistics about their networking usage.
OPTIONS
--all, -a
Show all containers. Only running containers are shown by default
--format=template
Pretty-print container statistics to JSON or using a Go template
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

[1] Cgroups V1 only
When using a Go template, precede the format with table to print head-
ers.
--interval, -i=seconds
Time in seconds between stats reports, defaults to 5 seconds.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created con-
tainer. Note: the last started container can be from other users of
Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the re-
mote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
--no-reset
Do not clear the terminal/screen in between reporting intervals
--no-stream
Disable streaming stats and only pull the first result, default setting
is false
--no-trunc
Do not truncate output
EXAMPLE
List statistics about all running containers without streaming mode:
# podman stats -a --no-stream
ID NAME CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET IO BLOCK IO PIDS
a9f807ffaacd frosty_hodgkin -- 3.092MB / 16.7GB 0.02% -- / -- -- / -- 2
3b33001239ee sleepy_stallman -- -- / -- -- -- / -- -- / -- --
List the specified container's statistics in streaming mode:
# podman stats a9f80
ID NAME CPU % MEM USAGE / LIMIT MEM % NET IO BLOCK IO PIDS
a9f807ffaacd frosty_hodgkin -- 3.092MB / 16.7GB 0.02% -- / -- -- / -- 2
List the specified statistics about the specified container in table
format:
$ podman stats --no-trunc 3667 --format 'table {{ .ID }} {{ .MemUsage }}'
ID MEM USAGE / LIMIT
3667c6aacb06aac2eaffce914c01736420023d56ef9b0f4cfe58b6d6a78b7503 49.15kB / 67.17GB
List the specified container statistics in JSON format:
# podman stats --no-stream --format=json a9f80
[
{
"id": "a9f807ffaacd",
"name": "frosty_hodgkin",
"cpu_percent": "--",
"mem_usage": "3.092MB / 16.7GB",
"mem_percent": "0.02%",
"netio": "-- / --",
"blocki": "-- / --",
"pids": "2"
}
]
List the specified container statistics in table format:
# podman stats --no-stream --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Name}} {{.MemUsage}}" 6eae
ID NAME MEM USAGE / LIMIT
6eae9e25a564 clever_bassi 3.031MB / 16.7GB
Note: When using a slirp4netns network with the rootlesskit port han-
dler, the traffic sent via the port forwarding is accounted to the lo
device. Traffic accounted to lo is not accounted in the stats output.
