What command do you use to view statistics for running containers?

The command to view statistics for running containers is "docker stats." This command provides real-time information about resource usage for each running container, including CPU, memory, network I/O, and block I/O statistics. By using "docker stats," users can monitor the performance of their containers directly from the terminal, which is crucial for managing resources and optimizing the performance of applications running in containers.

Other commands serve different purposes: "docker info" provides detailed information about the Docker installation and environment, including system information and configuration. "docker ps" lists the currently running containers but does not provide any statistics about their performance or resource usage. "docker top" shows the processes running inside a specified container but lacks the comprehensive performance metrics that "docker stats" provides. Thus, "docker stats" is specifically designed for viewing and monitoring statistics of running containers.
