dtop

dtop [options] [containers]

dtop is a terminal-based dashboard for monitoring Docker containers in real-time. It provides a top/htop-like interface specifically designed for Docker, showing CPU usage, memory consumption, network I/O, and container status.
The tool displays container metrics in a sortable table format with color-coded health indicators. It automatically refreshes to show current statistics and allows filtering to focus on specific containers or resource types.

Requires Docker daemon access and appropriate permissions. Container stats are limited by Docker API capabilities. Large numbers of containers may impact performance. Network stats may vary by Docker driver.

dtop was created to provide Docker-specific monitoring similar to what top/htop provide for system processes. It fills the gap between Docker's built-in stats command and more complex monitoring solutions.
