Top-like interface for container metrics
2017-03-09 23:23:05 +01:00
`ctop` provides a concise and condensed overview of real-time metrics for multiple containers:
2017-03-09 00:40:35 +01:00
< p align = "center" > < img src = "_docs/img/grid.gif" alt = "ctop" / > < / p >
2017-03-07 04:48:44 +01:00
2020-07-30 16:11:33 +02:00
as well as a [single container view][single_view] for inspecting a specific container.
2017-03-09 00:36:37 +01:00
2017-06-14 14:17:44 +02:00
`ctop` comes with built-in support for Docker and runC; connectors for other container and cluster systems are planned for future releases.

## Usage
2017-01-27 02:00:05 +01:00
2017-06-14 14:17:44 +02:00
`ctop` requires no arguments and uses Docker host variables by default. See [connectors][connectors] for further configuration options.
2017-02-13 04:01:30 +01:00
2018-01-11 19:32:34 +01:00
### Config file
2020-10-25 17:55:44 +01:00
While running, use `S` to save the current filters, sort field, and other options to a default config path (`~/.config/ctop/config` on XDG systems, else `~/.ctop` ).
Config file values will be loaded and applied the next time `ctop` is started.
