Container Metrics

A list of container metrics emitted by Diego. Each metric is a separate value in an envelope. Some metrics are separated into different envelopes to ensure Loggregator v1 subscribers can still receive these metrics.

Metric	Description	Type	Unit
absolute_entitlement	Length of time the container is entitled to spend using CPU.	Gauge	nanoseconds
absolute_usage	Total length of time container has spent using CPU.	Gauge	nanoseconds
container_age	Length of time container has existed for.	Gauge	nanoseconds
cpu	Percentage of time container spent using CPU.	Gauge	percentage
cpu_entitlement	Percentage of time container spent using CPU in relation to its entitlement.	Gauge	percentage
disk	Disk space in use by this container.	Gauge	bytes
disk_quota	User requested disk quota set on the DesiredLRP for this container.	Gauge	bytes
log_rate	Rate at which logs are output by the container.	Gauge	bytes / second
log_rate_limit	Maximum log rate at which logs can be output by the container.	Gauge	bytes / second
memory	Memory in use by this container. If the per-instance proxy is enabled, memory usage is scaled set based on the additional memory allocation for the proxy.	Gauge	bytes
memory_quota	User requested memory quota set on the DesiredLRP for this container.	Gauge	bytes
spike_start	Time at which a spike over a containers CPU entitlement started.	Gauge	unix epoch timestamp
spike_end	Time at which a spike over a container's CPU entitlement ended.	Gauge	unix epoch timestamp
rx_bytes	Received network traffic.	Counter	bytes
tx_bytes	Transmitted network traffic.	Counter	bytes
