dtop
Terminal dashboard for Docker container monitoring
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
dtop [options] [containers]
DESCRIPTION
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.

INSTALL
CAVEATS
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.
HISTORY
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.
