Monitor Your Containers With Csysdig

This is the second part of our series about Sysdig. Whereas our previous blog post focused on capturing data with the sysdig command-line utility, this tutorial will show how you can use Csysdig, the ncurses based GUI that ships with Sysdig. It's worth mentioning that Csysdig goes beyond what most monitoring tools provide in terms of functionalities, by giving you the ability to perform various actions directly from its interface. As an example, you can start a shell inside of a container, display logs, kill a container and many more.

Prerequisites

As a prerequisite, we assume you followed our first tutorial on Sysdig.  If so, both Sysdig and Csysdig should be installed on your system. Also, a capture file called monitoring-wordpress.scap should already exist.
