Docker top Command

Docker Command Manual


docker top : Display the running processes in a container, supporting ps command options.

Syntax

docker top [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [ps OPTIONS]

When a container is running, it may not have a /bin/bash terminal for interactive execution of the top command, and the container may not even have the top command. You can use docker top to view the processes running in the container.

Example

View the process information of the container mymysql.

tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/mysql$ docker top mymysql
UID    PID    PPID    C      STIME   TTY  TIME       CMD
999    40347  40331   18     00:58   ?    00:00:02   mysqld

View the process information of all running containers.

for i in  `docker ps |grep Up|awk '{print $1}'`;do echo \ &&docker top $i; done
